Mk2 golf gti, step son just breaking one for parts. We had to buy a 2nd pump complete to get engine running. The pump alone is around £100. Only have
1 pump, some, like his, are external, some are internal.

As said, it depends on what the VW guys had on the shelf! I have the filter/tank/pump fitted to my plastic car. On the Golf they are gravity fed but
on mine I have a Facet LP pump to fill the swirl.

All of the mk2 GTI's (8 and 16v) have an external pump built in to the swirl pot/accumulator thingy. The K-Jet cars also have an in-tank lift
pump, the late digifant 8v GTI's don't have a lift pump, just the external.
Rumour has it the K-Jet pumps are much more manly. K-Jet runs at 5bar compared to 3 or so for digifant, and the K-Jet pumps have been used without
issue on quite high powered 1.8T conversions
