Default Fuel Pump DIY

Need some advice and apology if it has been discussed before.

The Fuel pump on my S is deceased and the "Stealers" want R 11K to replace the whole unit........ (They are only Parts Replacers)



I can get the original VDO Pump for a quarter of that price....



Is it possible to dismantle the unit and just replace the pump ???
As per pic Below.



I would also replace the O rings .... possibly fuel line dependant on condition and necessary clamps etc.
Then a new Fuel Filter which will be replaced regularly due to this being
the cause of the pump failure but not an Audi Service Maintenance Item....
Which in SA I feel is a major oversight on the part of Audi SA
due to the quality of our local fuel.....

Audi will do the removal and re-installetion of the Unit for me....

Any thoughts Gents ?? ....... because I have hunted high and low on the interweb to no avail.
