If it is a Bosch pump then a diesel specialist should be able to help.

Hi i live in devon i have now ordered a seal set from the vw dearler but i will have to see how i get on fitting it. they said its a bit fiddley so we will see. my main problem is if the pump packs up the car is not worth fixing! i wish i had left it alone in the first place
