Does anyone know which wire is hot coming from the key cylinder? I need it to be hot when i turn the key to ON position. I need them for my gauges.I thought i might check here before checking later tonight.Thanks

Better take it out and have it sitting up on ends. While you have it out, may as well replace the other o-rings and seals.
ive done lots of head seals in the car. In fact, I've never done it out of the car..
Here's the thread http://www.vwdiesel.net/forum/index.php?topic=19969.0when I wrote about how I did mine. Libbybapa said I was lucky I didn't botch the pump but I feel that I had pressure on the disc at all times by having the head out just enough to expose the o-ring and not any further (I am not 100% sure about that so take it for what it's worth). He posted a pic of a bolt with a spring to maintain tension on the disc but I'm not sure if that pic is still available since he deleted all his postings. May not be a bad idea and do some research and make that spring loaded bolt to be sure nothing goes wrong.
you got lucky..there is NOTHING that holds tension on the plunger once you start loosening it.. that disk can fall out whenever it feels like.. must have been some diesel left in the pump holding the disk there..only way to keep the disk in there for sure, is with the bolt/spring
Thanks for the pictures... So yall dont think if i get a longer bolt to fit in the middle timing hole it wont work or will it?Im just going to add if i hear something in the pump fall, Im just going to take it out...
