        I _think_ you are describing the vaccum pump. It would be
coming out of where the distributor comes out of the block in
gasoline I4 engines. If so, it's VW part number 068 145 101 EX,
and I'm guessing the EX means exchange. You should be albe to
pull these out of any of the diesel I4 engines (well, at least
the ME diesels which should be pretty prevalent)...
