Help. Super beetle won't start when hot.

This isn't really a fuel pump issue unless you installed the wrong one. Engines failing to start when heated up is frequently due to leaking injectors or electrical stuff that's so defective that it quits when hot. You're going to have to search... This is just diagnostics, you know.

Sounds like the wrong pump.

Try spraying a little starting fluid down the carburetor or throttle body, if fuel injected. It should run a few seconds on that. If it does you have a fuel problem. If you have a carburetor the gasoline is either leaking out of the float bowl or evaporating away from a bad heat riser, if equipped. If it's fuel injected the fuel system is losing pressure. If it won't run on the starting fluid you have an ignition (no spark) problem. Most likely the ignition coil. Sometimes a failing ignition coil will work fine when it's cold but break down when it gets hot. Jim

We'll just assume that it cranks /turns over and doesn't start as opposed not cranking at all
