Alright, my problem is that I don't have a clear return line going back to my fuel tank so I won't be able to tell that way.


hmmm i forgot about the diesel thats still in the injection pump.  good idea would be to keep the return hose connected to the fuel filter, and run the car for about 5 minutes or so? then put the return in the jug.  i like the idea of running the car on the ATF so that the pump develops its pressure, and the ATF is forced out where the leaks are, and will have the best chance of sealing them.

How are the pumps this guy sells?  Are they rebuilt to OEM specs?

from some of the horror stories, i wouldn't buy a rebuilt pump from there.  until prothe gets his *** together with regards to the pump rebuilds, i won't recommend it.

honestly, you would be better off buying a genuine bosch seal kit from Giles (the ones on that site aren't genuine bosch AFAIK), and maybe a feed pump, and some other bushings from that site, and tackle the rebuild on your own, while following the guide in the FAQ (translated from French)

ha ok thanks for the info, thought it might be too good to be true.  I'm still pretty tempted to send it to Giles and have him go through it all and mod it for me.  I talked to him the other day and he could do it all for 600US.  Like you said start saving your pennies.

I don't know about the rest of his stuff but from what I have read here from other people you would actualy be lucky just to get the right kind of pump your ordered and be faulty on top of it at that.  I was going to do the same thing myself till I read some things :roll: But the parts that aren't real close tollerance in nature on that site I doubt if I would be afraid to try though.
