"Like" It is my favourite damn part.. but it died recently. An inner modification caused some metal to go through the pump and trash the vane pump.. causing no internal pressure.. So now I am rocking this Frankenshteenpompe. Good thing I got like 9 of these things.. lol




I just realized there is also no pictures of the Rover pump in here!




Sellers pictures before purchase, they suck what can I say.. lol. I'll have to get some updated better pictures while I am resealing it

nice winterforce tires, is that timing belt roller a factory thing or did you make it?

[8v-of-fury]

Those tires are like 5 winters old, insanely good value I got from them .

Timing belt roller is factory on the AHU/ALH pump bracket.

Just looking for some more details on the bumper hitch install. It looks like you welded a bar and hitch to the bumper. Is that it? And how much can you tow - weight-wise? I suspect the trailer and atv's are at least 1500lbs?

Thanks

So you can just bolt a Rover pump on with no modifications? Is there a thread with more details? I have a mild curiosity about m-tdis and am thinking one will be my next project.

The rover has the larger pump snout, the same size as the ALH so the bracket needed boring. I also chose to use the AHU pulley and retain the twisting of the pump style timing setup.. as opposed to putting an ALH style on because I didn't have it. For this I had to slot the holes in the pumps case, not a big deal.. couple of holes and a round file..

Sorry I missed this reply Aivars! Yes I will describe. What I did was get the smallest receiver welded to a piece of 1/4 or 3/8 steel bar. Because my bumper is aluminum, I then bolted it through the bumper (1/4" aluminum) with four 12.9 grade bolts. The bumper does flex a bit with extreme tongue weight.. but nothing outrageous.

Yeah, I guesstimate my trailer to weigh 1500-1600 ish all said and done. Which gives it about a 125lb tongue weight give or take, I can lift it with no problem. I can then stand me (260) and my brother (175) on the tongue and its still alright.. So that is a rough tongue weight of 560lbs.. WAY MORE THAN I'LL EVER HAVE BACK THERE.

Being that it is a smaller car, it really matters how you load the trailer.. compared to pulling it with my f-150, the weight could be anywhere and not even notice. Misplace the weight with the car and it throws the rear of the car all over.

is 15-1600lbs too much to be pulling with a 2100lb car? Absolutely. HAHA Good thing its all just 60-70km/h to where I ride, I wouldn't be doing this on the highway.. Also my trailer sticks out nearly two feet on either side of my car! LMAO
