Also can I remove one of these at a time without anything shifting inside?
Like remove one, put new crush washer on, then reinstall, then do other side.

I see that its a common leak spot and It looks like mine is leaking from there. Its all wet around that area with diesel fuel. I was going to pull the pump and fix the seals but only one of the seals is explained in the rebuild process. It seems there is another seal on the shaft of the cold start? ...

Sounds good thanks guys!

Does anyone rent or know where I Can get that dial indicator screw in attachment to time the pump?

I cant seem to find a fuel sending unit for a mk2 1.6l na Anyone know the part number? Will a mk3 tdi fit?

pros and cons of just leaving it how it is?

good thing I read this before I took the trash out as the belt is in there.

Timing has to be spot on, but I bet from over the years the other belt stretched some and the fuel timing is out of sync a hair.

So I did a timing belt swap and now I throw black smoke out at high rpm's When I did the swap, I locked the pump in place like your are suppose to, and marked the timing belt and gears. I transferred the marks to the new belt, checked all the timing and put back on. Car runs and drives exactly the s...

N/m

please?

Mine is wobbling looks bent and need a new one. Anyone have one laying around ?
