Re: 85 Diesel Jetta at Wide Open Throttle

I have no idea who rebuilt it. We bought the car last summer in August. The receipt was dated February 2011, from a local mechanic. The seller gave me the old pump and the receipt, but now I cannot find the receipt. I don't remember anything about a warranty on the printed receipt. Since I am not th...

Re: 85 Diesel Jetta at Wide Open Throttle

Fatmobile, Yes I did check all the adjusting screws and everything else I could find. Everything is very tight. As to the other response from Bob, I really don't want to buy another rebuilt pump. This one has only 6-7000 miles on it since it was rebuilt. It is virtually spotless, except for the oran...

Re: 85 Diesel Jetta at Wide Open Throttle

Ok, so the consensus seems to be that it's not runaway. With the right knowledge and photos, and detailed directions I believe I can take this pump apart and find the problem, and locate replacement parts. I might have a good part inside my spare pump in my shop. Anybody care to chime in about a goo...

Re: 85 Diesel Jetta at Wide Open Throttle

Here is an update of what I have learned in the last 2 days. Diesel Dean, Thanks for the emails and pointers in the direction of runaway. I wish I could say that is the case here, after today I cannot. I read for a couple hours on here today of others descriptions of their runaway experiences. While...

Re: 85 Diesel Jetta at Wide Open Throttle

Thanks everyone for your replies. Here is an update. Today I did find a Bosch book with detailed online diagrams which were pretty helpful also. After looking at the diagrams, and the other website of a Bosch pump rebuild/reseal with over 100 photos, I felt pretty confident I could take the top off ...

Re: Bosch VE pump; won't idle after rebuild

Here are a couple of thoughts from my experience with my 2 Jettas. Mine would lope like that a few months ago, and I changed the fuel filter. Took care of it. Second time happened a few months later. Started loping again. My dad had recently purchased a 4x4 Case IH tractor from a used equipment deal...
