• I have been out of the vw diesel scene for a couple years now and happy to say im back. i picked up an auto gasser rabbit last spring, and with a lot of handouts from friends i now have a TD 5 speed bunny. my injection pump is starting to leak so i picked up a rebuild kit and im gonna rebuild the pump this weekend. other than the Gov mod does anyone have any other pump mods that i should do when i have it apart?
  
  thanks
