From reading Hagar's and other's posts I feel confident I don't need any shop to calibrate my pumps, I just measure the internal pressure, right? Ok, maybe I'll need them to set the delivery valves and injector pressure if I can't get myself a pop tester. I think there's a little bit more to it tha...

Parts for a rebuild don't seem to be a problem but what is, is getting any tune shop guy willing to run up and calibrate a pump if they havent rebuilt it themselves. There's two in the small city where I live and both told me "your work might bust my expensive tune machine." Comments?

Yes it's a lovely trip on the Interislander. Sea-going birds, dolphins and whales (maybe), a stiff salty cool breeze in your face and the deck on the move beneath your feet. Breath-taking scenery and and enough water between you and land to make you feel you're on a voyage to the New World. The Maor...

By all means, do drop by! Lol. We're in a district on the east coast of the North Island called Gisborne. A warm, sunny place with great beaches. This was the first place Captain Cook landed when he discovered New Zealand in 1769.

Thank you for your responses, fellas.

Edit: By chance at a scrap metal dealer yesterday I found the best part of a junked IP which I brought home and can confirm it is substantially the same as in the pictures.

If so, why does it cost a small fortune to overhaul these pumps?

Thanks Andrew. Here's a pic of the IP in the truck...close as I could get. - http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o229/girlguidebiscuit/P1010082_small.jpg And I picked up a spare motor a while back, same pump...better detail, more dirt. - http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o229/girlguidebiscuit/P10100...

Surfcam, thanks for the reply. The Isuzu pump is a VE4 Bosch I believe and there is no lift pump so it would seem to be similar to the VW IP. What I want to know is if the overhaul instructions here will apply to the Isuzu pump too. Australia is our nearest neighbour. There are great similarities an...

Hi Everyone from New Zealand down in the South Pacific. This is a really terrific thread. Can someone in the know please help with a couple of questions? 1) Libbybapa says "The Bosch pump looks "crowded" doesn't it? and yet, can't complain, a rotary pump is worse." I thought a VE...
