[Vwdiesel] Oil pump choices for 1.6TD rebuild

[LBaird119 at aol.com]

btw, I know it's standard procedure to replace the pump on a full rebuild, 
but how 
often do they actually wear out? I checked mine as per Bentley a few years 
ago, and 
it was within spec for clearances. Do I just toss the old pump in a box with 
all my old 
tensioner bearings that also never wear out? ;-)



  I've only replace ONE due to wear.  That was the one on my Jetta 
where the thrust surface of the crank had gone through it.  :-P  Never 
had one worn enough to replace due to wear otherwise.  Did have a 
couple of getting loose and noisy tensioners though.
