Answer: No.

The Jetta's CIS and the Vanagon's Digifart injection use different
pressures, and vastly different pumps. List vendors have the correct pump
for about $120 (US).

Subject:        Will a Jetta fuel pump work on a westy?

Here's the story,
The Fuel pump has died in my '81 Westy.  I happen to have a scrapped '86
Jetta sitting along side.  will that pump fit my camper?  I don't expect
a perfect match, but will it work? Would the volume be the same?
Electric fuel pumps are dear, as you know, and there are very few
scrapped Vanagons on this island; none in  my neck of the woods.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,
