[Vwdiesel] Fixed! - kind of RE: oil pump binding

[Brian and Ruth Decker]

Hi Will;
	I only play with Rabbits and Dashers and didn't realize till just
last year that there was a Vane vacuum pump in some newer diesels. I have a
vane pump in most all the Rabbits I have and I find them in Dasher diesels.
If you can find a Diesel Dasher in the junk yard you might be able to score
one.

YES! tap upward on the lower of the 2 vac pump bushings.  Meyle pump
still binding, old OEM pump works fine.  Justin at Greaseworks has
graciously agreed to take the Meyle pump back (knowing the full story),
but doesn't have any of the OEM Febi pumps in stock (they might be
discontinued?) Sooo, order is in with the local dealer (sigh.)  Thanks
for the encouragement.
