Automotive fuel pumps are located inside the fuel tank. Functions of the fuel pump: To draw gasoline from the fuel tank and deliver it through pipelines and fuel filters to the float chamber of the carburetor, supplying fuel to the engine. Working principle of the fuel pump: The fuel pump delivers high-pressure fuel to the fuel rail, ensuring a continuous supply of fuel to the fuel injectors. The fuel pump consists of an electric motor, a pressure limiter, and a check valve. The electric motor actually operates within the fuel inside the pump housing, as there is nothing inside the housing that can ignite. The gasoline lubricates and cools the electric motor. A check valve is installed at the fuel outlet, and the pressure limiter is located on the pressure side of the pump housing, with a passage leading to the fuel inlet.

How to reset the airbag warning light on a Tiguan?

First, remove the car key and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. Wait for 5-10 minutes, then check if the warning light is still on. If it's off, it was a false error. If the light remains on, use a professional diagnostic scanner to clear the fault code and try again. If a connector in the airbag system is disconnected or severely discharged, this is also a common fault. Check the connection of each connector (yellow connectors), reconnect them, and it's best to secure the connectors with a layer of black tape.
