Disconnect the tank side fuel line from the pump and stick a bolt, spark plug or whatever you have into the hose end to keep fuel from leaking out. Use a flair nut wrench to disconnect the line for the carburetor at the pump. If the pump has a third line (return) block that off as well. Remove the pump from the block, then remove the plate that goes between the pump and block. Glue the pump gasket to the pump, remove the gasket material from the plate and block. If you have a block/plate gasket with the new pump, glue that to the plate. You will find a steel rod in the block. Put heavy axle grease on it, re-install it and have someone turn the engine by hand (not with the starter) while you push the rod into the engine. stop turning when it is at the point where it is the furthest in. The grease you put on it should hold it in position. If there was no plate gasket, use silicone sealer on the part and bolt it back on the engine block. Then, put the pump in place, making sure that the arm is under the rod and the pump is square with the plate. Install both bolts finger tight (use a long socket as an aid) then tighten the bolts, alternating sides so it does not shift to one side. Re-attach the lines and you are finished. Many times after replacing the pump a bit of debris will go into the line and get into the filter so if you have problems starting the engine, replace the filter in the carb inlet. If the engine was running before you changed the pump likely it won't need to be primed but if the engine did not start you can puur a very small amount of fuel into it to get it started. After starting, check your work for leaks.
Good luck!!

Disconnect the fuel (have a round object the size of the inside diameter of the line so you can plug it off) and unbolt the pump from the block. Notice how the arm slides out. When you reinstall the new pump make sure the pump arm goes under the cam shaft or it will not work. Clean the old gasget off of the block before reinstalling the new one. reconnect the fuel. The engine may have to turn over several times before fuel pressure is suffecient to start the engine.

Yes, it can be the relay. What I do is unplug the relay and swap it gor yhe horn relay. If this doesn't work, I use a volt/ohmmeter to probe the relay socket. Doing this, I can usually find the problem. With the key on , there should be two terminals in the socket that have battery voltage and one that is grounded. The last terminal goes to the pump and should show low ohms to ground. In your truck, the relay coil is connected to ground and turned on by the ecm with a positive signal. It also seems to depend on the oil pressure switch, so you might want to temporarily bypass the switch with a paper clip in the connector to see if that is keeeping the pump from running.

Changed feul pump feul filter changed computer. Van still shutdow

this could be a number of problems,check the voltage with a volt meter,not a test light at the fuel pump connection. make sure you have 12V,if so unhook the fuel supply line,turn key to ON not START, and make sure the pump will continue to flow,( obviously cqatch the fuel with a pail,or put a hose on it to pump it into a pail,don't let it leak all over the place.)if the pump continues to flow with out shutting off,your pump,filter,and electrical for your pump is ok.it could be a restriction in the return line,or the regulator may not be functioning.un hook the return line as close to engine as possible,install hose on it and route to a pail to catch fuel,with supply line hooked back up,start van and see if it works,if it keepd shutting off,you've now eliminated return line problems.check the regulator.

Remove feul pump on a 97 polo

I don't have specific info on the Polo, but in the Golfs of that era I think there was a plastic retaining ring than unscrewed, after which the pump / sender unit was a bayonet fitting that came out after turning it anticlockwise a bit.
Remove the filler cap first to depressurise the system, don't get the hoses mixed up and be sure to disconnect the battery - you'll be opening the petrol tank !

Hope this helps, but a Haynes or Bentley manual will often repay the purchase price after only one job.
Cheers, D.
