[Vwdiesel] ALH injection pump

[lbaird119 at aol.com]

ATF will do similar. Did it on a trip where I was leaking badly.  Worked great ('81 PU)  Dunno how long it would've lasted since that was the second leak so I just said uncle and sent it for a reseal/rebuild.  I'd already replaced the timing advance o-rings so soon after another went.  I didn't feel like dealing with cascading failures

My shaft seal leak came and went for years before it finally let go in a
ig way.  I attribute this to switching between BD and #2 (which I tried to
o as little as possible).

 place to work.  Don't think I'd attempt it outdoors, and certainly not in
 winter.

 Check on youtube, there is a series of clips that take you through the
 entire process.  Also search on TDI club. It is important that you have the
 IP compressed before you slide the "distribitor" out to replace the Oring.
 Not hard to do but if you don't you may have things coming apart inside the
 IP on you.

 I'd also try to determine where the leak is coming from. Unlikely you need
 all the seals replaced, so would make sense to just do the one(s) that you
 need.

 Also check on youtube, there is a clip there about someone who fixed a
 leaky IP by running biodiesel.  If your leak isn't too bad this may work
 for you, and would be a bunch easier than doing the seals.

 Good luck
