I recently drove my wife's '86 diesel jetta and caught the smell of diesel
fuel. I stopped and popped the hood to find that the pump was leaking from by
the fuel distributor housing. I thought "no problem" I had a pump that came
from a '92 motor I had purchased and had been planning on putting the pump on
the '86, but hadn't gotten around to it. After I installed the pump, in short
order, it started leaking from almost every place (except the pulley seal). I
thought a bit, and then some more, and then removed the return line and tried
blowing through it. Sure enough, blocked. There was a bit of crud at the
fuel tank end. It was an easy fix. I then purchased a used pump from a friend,
installed, and the car runs better than ever. BUT, I now have two otherwise
functional leaky injection pumps. Does anyone know of a good source for a
reseal kit or the individual o-rings for Da Pump?
