• Hi
  
  I am new here, looking for info on swapping a AHU into a Sidekick.
  
  Right now, I am trying to find out how to deal with the whole M-TDI conversion.
  
  Would this pump work?

  I already got in touch with Giles, and am looking for a less expensive option....but I don't want to make a mistake.
  
  Thanks

• Well, I know someone who bought one said his didn't even have an LDA, just an undrilled place where it should go. While I have bought quite a few parts from him, and am happy with what I have bought, I don't think there has been even one good review of a pump on the forum.

• I won't even say anything. Here are links from the Buyer/Seller feedback forum related to the owner of that site as well as about 5 others if you try to find "vwdieselparts" generically.
  
  Very questionable

• !!!!!!!!!!!!! GO BUY TINTIN'S PUMP IN THE FOR SALE SECTION!  YOU WILL NOT GET A CHEAPER BETTER RUNNING PUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  
  you will kick yourself if it gets sold...  Giles charges what the pump is actually worth... he puts a great deal of work into them, and they truly perform!  now it seems like tintin is just trying to get rid of that m-TDI pump.

  That is true....trust me...Martin *TinTin* knows what he is doing. I'm sure he has already had a ton of PM's if not sold it.

• Even he (Prothé) are not able to sell a good working IDI pump  :lol: ,  I dont think that the M-tdi one can really work since it's much more complicated to built this pump.
  
  This guy have a good potential business in his hand but too much cheaper parts and lack of knowledge, and even with all the information in this forum and replys to him,  he still persist to do not understand or learn about the subject..........
