Subject:TD Fuel Pump rebuild/Replace Question
From:G. Matthew Bulley
Date:Mon, 27 May 2002 10:34:40 -0400

Howdy all--

My other car (not the Vanagon [required content]) my 1985 Jetta TD's
fuel pump needs immediate replacement/rebuild (240K miles).

There is a steady leak between the distribution block and the main body
of the pump which has been getting progressively worse. Now it won't run
above idle, and it appears the fuel that SHOULD be going to the
injectors is coming out of that leak. No longer an arbitrary drip, more
of a trickle, almost a stream.

Who is my best bet, and what should I expect to pay? Anyone to avoid?

Is this swap a PITA, or can it be accomplished with average
tools/average skills in the driveway?

From historic, walkable Mount Olive, NC,
