[Vwdiesel] Re: [VW-TDI] TDI - Failing fuel pump }:o(

Don't let them keep your old pump!

Pumps come up on Ebay and TDIClub quite often.

I have rebuilt a TD pump before, and I would do my TDI pump if and when
the day ever comes. 

Ask your local Bosch jobber if he carries a rebuilt body for your pump
(this is a cleaned case with new bushes, and a fitted main shaft). Have
the Bosch part numbers handy.
