I think the part number you have quoted is for the whole pump assembly, but the pump it self can be replaced, reusing your assembly.

-7 should be out there in your pants, what's the matter with you man

This is a pump you need but I doubt dealer will replace just the pump on it's own as Audi only supply and replace the whole fuel delivery unit. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A8-9...kAAOSw~QRaBD9x

I got a reply from audi with an offer, an expensive offer.
They even says so. The offer exceeds the value of the car, so they advice against these repairs

Fuel pump replacement: 14 150 SEK
Cam belt with water pump etc: 21 469 SEK
Brake hoses: 3 400 SEK
From tie rod replacement: 6 881 SEK
_________
total: 57 376 SEK

edit: and they didn't include the wiring to the oil pressure sensor as they can't calculate the job

Crikey!! That's about £5200 GBP! Outrageous!

I think a trip to MJ and a UK break including hire car is the way to go!

Try Talking to Conny Sjoberg on the following facebook forum (or message me if you dont have facebook) as he has many contacts in Sweden for 8 Owners and may well be able to suggest who you can go to instead to do the work

I could probably go and pick it up for less than that

An independent specialist or accommodating DIY'er has to be the way to go

I suppose you are right. This is very expensive.
Trouble is, I do not know of any independent mechanic that specialise in Audi.

Time to do some research

Roadtrip! I call shotgun.

Fuel pump without assembly is 2500 sek change pays for brake hoses and tie rods.
Tie rods I'm assuming are track rod ends are a POP you can do those yourself. Ebay and have them sent form here. If you're really struggling i'll send them to you. 170 sek

Just cam belt, is the expensive bit.

So we're down to 2700 sek + postage excluding cam belt.

The tie rods (or what they are called) are the inner ones, not the outer part. Although I already have the outer part, as it came with the Meyle link package. But I didn't change those, only the 4 links in the front suspension.

I'll be going to talk to a few independent shops tomorrow and hear what they have to offer.

I feel some pressure to get the car road worthy. Before the annual meet in June. Got to be able to drive the car to meet you all

An independent repair shop, Mekonomen, told me they don't want the job. The car is to old and the job to difficult

I spoke with Conny last evening. He mentioned Mekonomen, the repair shop. And he suggested that resetting any errors might clear the fuel pump. As he thought it might not get any electrical current now.
I asked Audi about testing to reset fault codes. But he told me the car is so old one cannot do that. One has to measure voltage on the fuel pump. Which he claimed they have done.
I believe the representative got annoyed by my questions. Oh well.

Talking to another who I have been told earlier is a trained mechanic, so I assumed he knew more. But he responded by telling me he knows nothing about these cars. They are so old almost no one remembers them.

So the current agreement is. They will fix the fuel pump while I am gone for work. I know it will be more expensive than fixing it myself. But I already have to pay for the fault finding. And transporting the car back home isn't cheap either.

Then I will take the car home and try to fix or replace the faulty electrical wiring myself.
