[Vwdiesel] fuel injection pump reinstallation

[David Cook]

You can also fill the filter with the new, clean
diesel fuel.  That way the pump won't have to do it
after you get the car running.

First time I ever did a timing belt, I did it on my
diesel which I had driven from Kansas to Colorado to
get.  I just marked the old pump and the new pump and
reinstalled it.

At the same time, I installed a new filter.

The engine smoked and bucked so much until the filter
filled itself I was just sure I had broken something
and stranded myself in Colorado.

Some folks will recommend you fill the new filter with
ATF--it is supposed to lube the pump and clean things
out.
