QUESTION: Not sure what model but it is a 4 door auto with 1.8L
OK,the 1.8 pump will be in the tank.Look first in the trunk to see if it has a access panel as some VWs did.Or it may be under the rear seat but if not then you must lower the tank.Without a hoist it is harder but it can be done with a jack and axle stands.
