Walbro fuel pump? How can you tell

[Tsi_User]

Well my car was mildly modded before I bought it, and pretty much put back to stock. However, I think my FP might not be the stock one, because it's pretty damn loud (can hear it in and out of the car with the full interior). Is there any way to check and make sure that it's an aftermarket FP, signs, sizes, color etc?? Thanks

stock pumps are quiet.. aftermarket ones such as walbro pumps are loud and whine.. that should answer your question

you can pull it out and look at the numbers stamped on it and match them up. Stock ones are generally not loud .. then again neither is my 255.

There's a part number on them. I called one of the many DSM shops that sells Walbro, and I read them off the numbers and they told me the type. 190, baby!

The only problem with pulling it out, is in a 1g it's not quite as easy as a 2g. But I agree, it is the 100% way to tell if it is an aftermarket pump or not.
