Don't let it bother you Mike!
I've been told that the VW pump will produce 120 psi, I've never seen one
that would go over 67 psi and hold it for long.
There are a few Ford trucks and older VW Rabbits / Jetta's that use the same
pumps but I've never found any in wrecking yards .......... actually never
looked very hard.
