Yep!
Without the second hole you don't operate the 'suction jet pumps' on the ends of the hoses.
Therefore you only get whatever fuel can feed the pump bowl directly.

You'll have to reinvest in a Siemens VDO pump (only trust Siemens VDO).
World Impex used to be a good source, but I can't find it on their website anymore.
Try the forum sponsor, or World Car Parts seem to have the right one...

- has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car!

Replacement pump arrived and I got it in today, have done 120miles from full and all seems good. Fingers crossed.
Thanks for all the advice!
