Sparta PN3077 Fuel Pump and Strainer Set

Fuel Pump and Strainer Set for Audi and Volkswagen

Sparta PN3077 is an electric in-tank fuel pump and strainer set for gasoline applications. It is built as a standard replacement for higher-mileage and earlier model vehicles, with OE-informed fit and performance support from Delphi distribution.

Compatible with 1998-2005 Volkswagen Passat and 1998-2004 Audi A6, this fuel pump assembly is specified for 12-volt systems, in-tank placement, and a 51-73 psi operating range. The set includes the fuel pump and strainer, with a 50-micron screen and a 26.0 average flow rating.

Sparta PN3077 is a direct-fit style replacement for select Audi A6 and Volkswagen Passat applications. It is configured as an in-tank electric pump with one outlet, two terminals, and no regulator, gasket, seal, wiring harness, or fuel tank pressure sensor included. This makes it a focused replacement for worn fuel delivery components where the pump and strainer are serviced together.

This part cross-references Bosch 69733 and Carter P76029M for the same application.

Common Fuel Delivery Issues

• Hard starting caused by a weak or failing in-tank fuel pump
• Engine hesitation from inconsistent fuel pressure
• Loss of fuel delivery from a restricted or contaminated strainer
• Fuel starvation under load in higher-mileage Audi A6 and Volkswagen Passat vehicles
• Driveability problems tied to an aging electric pump assembly

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s fuel system specifications before installation, including 12-volt electrical requirements, blade terminal style, and in-tank pump layout. Confirm the outlet size, connector shape, and pressure range against the original unit on the vehicle.

Because the gasket or seal is not included, reuse or replacement of the tank seal must be handled separately as needed. The package includes an instruction sheet, and the pump is intended for gasoline applications only.

Quality Assurance

Sparta is distributed by Delphi, an OE full-line fuel supplier with deep application knowledge in fuel system fit and performance. PN3077 is positioned as a standard replacement fuel pump and strainer set for select Audi and Volkswagen vehicles.
