Vacume Pump Questions
« on: September 30, 2007, 07:54:59 am »
I am going to be getting my engine together in the next month or so.  After doing a bit of reading I learned about the weakness of the intermediate shaft bearings.  They will be replaced during the build.  I also saw that along this line, people have run into oil pressure problems, and a host of other small issues directly related to a faulty or weak vacume pump.  I figure that now would be the time to rebuild it if possible, or replace it to avoid problems down the road.   I am unsure of the year the engine was produced as it was bought as a removed unit.  I think I read that there was a difference somewhere around 1985?
This is a Canadian MF 1.6TD.  

Suggestions??
2009 Jetta TDI Loyal edition, 6-spd. 16V 2.0CR


1985 VW Golf 5-spd, 4-door, 1.6NA  Bought from orig. owner in Savannah with 42,000 miles.
"Making the jump NA to TD" slow but sure.
