How to replace the float in an Audi A6?

Model: Audi A6 MK 2, C5 - Years 1997-2004
Part: Fuel pump

In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the float in the Audi A6, a very simple operation that requires the disassembly of the fuel pump since the two elements are directly connected. To do this, first of all, we disconnect the battery, then we flip the right rear seat, lift the carpet and remove the large circular cap indicated. Next, we disconnect both the power connector and the two pipes and unscrew the outer ring of the pump. Once extracted, we remove the old float, insert the replacement and reassemble everything following the reverse procedure.
