Thank you for taking you time and posting this very helpful video. I am so thankful for people like you. It is not easy to perform the work and record narrate at the same time. People have balls to complain about video quality.
Great how to. Saved hundreds of dollars for me. I used the green seal in the kit - but soaked it in hot tap water for about 20 min first. Worked fine. Also I put the car in 5th gear and pushed it to place the pump on cam.
Very helpful videos. For 60 bucks I replaced the seals and saved about 2 grand, which would have been the cost of a rebuilt pump installed at the local VW shop.
2:06 I wasn't expecting that much and hadn't seen this video. The second time I took the pump apart, I thought ahead to suck the fuel out. I ended up sucking diesel into my vacuum pump. It was pretty much brand new, I was so sad. I ended up getting all the fuel out and the vacuum pump works fine, so perhaps the rubber inside was fresh enough it wasn't totally destroyed by the diesel. I also 'long-screwed' the top cover the first time I put it back together, using the longer, washered bolts on the top. It turns out, with the washer, the total penetration is about the same, so I don't think it did a lot of damage - was afraid I caused a hairline crack in the pump body. I recently replaced an oil pan and the manual warned that excess old gasket sealer on the bolt-threads can crack the engine block!
That shim actually fits in the distributor plunger. You can pull the pump head off so long as you keep the cam plate pushed toward the left. The rollers left of it are harder to put back than the shim... Using the green pump seal kinda requires pump head removal...
2:41 For fun, I tried to see if it was possible to misalign that bit... I watched a video that talked about how "very important" it was and said he spent 30 minutes with flashlights trying to line it up. The first time I slid it on, it engaged perfect. I was like "no, too easy, it's not aligned". So I lifted it up, watching, it was aligned. So I started testing: Maybe the assembly was in a good position, but I found that it is *impossible* to get the QA to sit flush with the body if the peg did not get in the hole. If you got the screws in, you got the peg in. It is remarkably forgiving in it's self-aligning nature, and if the hole is too far off, it is never going to sit right, there is no way you could screw it together let alone try to start the car. Maybe I was lucky that the spring assembly was in the right position, the slider had less travel, but I tried to misalign it, and it was NOT possible - at all. Waiting on a cable for Vag-Com to tune my pump, the car BARELY runs and it still leaks - replaced the head o-ring twice with the DG kit and special 55mm bolt. So take my advice for what it's worth - dog crap on a stick.
I rebuilt the TDI pump just as you did step by step and you did a great job going as an example I really appreciate it I started the Volkswagen and drove it around and it ran great and about a half hour into the ride it started to sputter and it shut off and had a hard time staying on do you think that I experienced the kiss of death as you explained on Chapter two at about 6 minutes and do you think I can replace that washer because it'll be hard paying out $400 A rapid response would be great
3:45 I skipped this part entirely, and I've taken the pump apart multiple times trying to fix this leak. Either I got really lucky where the engine landed every time, or that's what's wrong with the car - I screwed something up by not having the engine at the right spot before opening; the springs never fell out of the assembly though. I think it just needs tuned with VCDS though for power, the leak is never going to be fixed, the car will be for emergencies only - fun when it doesn't reliably start.
hello, ok here is the problem I ran into. I followed direction except I didn't have the tool to turn the engine. So I used the 19mm socket and turned the engine that way. Now my car takes a very very long time to start and shuts off after 3 seconds. Any help would be appreciated. did I mess up my timing?
Also since you're so wise in the subject, my pump is from an automatic bug but I only can find a pump from a standard transmission bug, I was told it can be done but there's a small procedure can you please help thank you
MAKE SURE the car is in NEUTRAL when you rotate the engine to put the pump on cam....also, I think its better to rotate by the crank, not by the cam sprocket.
I can not believe these guys wear rubber gloves it just kills me, i done mechanic work trucks and cars for over 28 years and if anyone ever seen me wearing them i would be laughed out of town. Embarrassing to see a man (well suppose to be a man) wearing gloves to work on something....crazy strange people i guess!!
Of course. Having black neils and burnt or dirty fingers is very macho ! I do wear these too myself and only bad think is less sensibility. Am I less of a man because of that ?

This works I did this on a escort with bosch ve n/a pump with a viton seal I got off ebay thanks for the video

Great vid,where can I get the viton seal?

excellent videos
search on ebay "Bosch VE injector pump head seal veg/wvo/svo/bio resistant nitrile viton"
Good advice, very poor focus.
Not quite worthless.
Almost worthless.
I think my shim dropped
hey - dont worry, ive had pump guts right out and greased it all back together
and she running

Good video i might add, just rubs me wrong i guess:(

Ok, the video owner is proud of that ! :)
"She" should be :)
I’d much rather have carcinogenic material soaking in to my skin than wear gloves....
