[Vwdiesel] Anybody have a vacuum pump?

[lbaird119 at aol.com]

  That one took less than 10 minutes from installing it, iirc.  Same with mine.  I had no boost for the first couple minutes in cold weather so figured I'd clean up the lid and file down the housing a little to eliminate some of the .020 gap between the rotor and lid.  For some reason it didn't lube up and galled. It worked stupendously for the first few minutes, GOBS of vacuum.  I couldn't press the pedal enough times to end up with a hard pedal!   I cleaned it up enough that the vanes would move again and had boost for one or two tries.  Haven't looked again but I'm sure it looks like that one or worse.  :-(

Can't believe that yours is as bad s that! Braking would have suffered eonsago.. 
If the vanes are still there ,but leading edges chipped away, simply rotating 
the 
vanes will work.

I either need a replacement (hopefully somebody has an extra spare) or I get 
some phenolic sheet and some JB Weld and start rebuilding mine.
Worth an ask! :-)
