How to tell if my Audi 80's fuel pump is failing?

I've noticed a decrease in performance and occasional 'jerks' while driving my Audi 80. Could this be a sign of a failing fuel pump?

Your observations could indeed be a sign of a failing fuel pump. I recommend taking your car to a technician as soon as possible to have it checked and replaced if necessary.

You can also do a simple test with a fuel pressure gauge to check if the pump is still working properly. If the pressure is lower than it should be, it might be time for a replacement.
