OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — fuel pumps (aftermarket) Bosch 0 580 464 131 / Hüco 133282 and 132748

Accuracy note: Covers the Audi Q5 (8R 2008-2017) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. In-tank fuel pumps are sold two ways: as a complete feed unit (the pump in its swirl pot with the fuel-level sender and float) or as a bare pump that is fitted into the old housing, and petrol and diesel versions are not interchangeable — most diesels have only a low-pressure lift pump in the tank, with the high-pressure pump on the engine. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand; genuine numbers are shown only where a listing quotes one. Check fuel type, the plug pin count and whether your car has one sender or two (saddle tanks on 4x4 and some larger cars) against your VIN before ordering.

Fuel pumps / feed units (aftermarket)	Hüco 133282 and 132748 (petrol feed units with sender); Hüco 133138 and 132732 (diesel feed units with sender); Astemo 2503138 (diesel feed unit with sender); VDO 2803580185302 (petrol feed unit with lever sensor, pump and accessories included, 1.5-6 bar); Delphi FE0510-12B1 (diesel feed unit, 206 mm, metal housing, without pressure sensor); Bosch 0 580 464 131 (in-line pre-supply pump); Magneti Marelli 313011300152 (bare pump, 5 bar, 180 l/h); Ridex 1382F0314 (feed unit with sender, 5-pin, pressure regulator included).
Types & variants	Petrol and diesel feed units with sender are separate parts; diesels also use an in-line pre-supply pump (Bosch, Topran, Ridex 458F0090 equivalents); bare 5 bar pumps and generic MPI in-tank pumps are offered for fitting into the original housing.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in catalogue listings — order a genuine unit against your VIN
Fitment notes	This generation shares its module family with the A4 B8, so the same split applies: diesel tank module plus external lift pump, petrol module with sender, bare pump only for a housing that is still sound.

Audi Q5 Fuel Pump: A Part That Fails at the Worst Possible Moments

On the Audi Q5, this particular failure has a knack for terrible timing, stranding drivers mid-journey instead of giving fair warning while the car's parked up safely. Spotting the early signs early enough is what stands between a routine fix and a roadside breakdown.

Before you buy: fuel pump specifications vary by engine size and fuel type, and petrol/diesel versions are never interchangeable. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Audi Q5 Fuel Pump: What It Does

Getting fuel from tank to engine at the correct combustion pressure is down to the fuel pump, and on the Audi Q5 that pump sits inside the tank, submerged in fuel. That location is exactly why swapping out such a small part is rarely a quick job.

Accuracy note: these are documented patterns by generation and engine family, not a substitute for confirming your exact engine code — always verify against your V5C before ordering, since petrol and diesel pumps are never interchangeable.

Confirmed: A Genuine, Massive-Scale Safety Recall Worth Checking Your Car Against — Audi Q5 Fuel Pump

This is genuinely worth checking directly: a confirmed recall covering 1.2 million vehicles across this range addressed a genuine fire risk from a coolant pump that could overheat, caused by the pump becoming blocked by debris or moisture causing an electrical short. Audi's first attempted fix was a software update, which reportedly wasn't effective, meaning the recall ultimately required hardware replacement in two separate stages. It's genuinely worth checking your specific VIN against the official recall register and confirming both stages have been completed.

A genuinely useful inspection tip worth knowing if buying a used fuel pump: physically checking the electrical connector for melting or browning is a good way to spot a failing unit before buying it secondhand.

It's also genuinely worth knowing an alarming account regarding the belt starter generator on 48V mild hybrid models: one documented case saw this fail at just 47,000 miles, with Audi UK refusing a goodwill contribution and claiming the ignition had been left on, despite no diagnostic proof offered.
