From where you stand - nothing too much to lose.
Have read many times about the wonders of wax.
Mindfully and cautiously heat it up with heat gun or propane torch and rub a candles butt into it a few times.
Tink it with something good a few times-
then use an easy-out /or/ drive-in extraxtor tool to remove it.
Most times PB Blaster usually does the trick for me -
not had to go with wax yet. And i don't have any candles at the shop -yet.
PB Blast the remaining segment every hour or so and tink it with something good everytime - then heat - then use an easy out or extractor on it.
You "might" get a metal shaving in the pump - and you might have already gotten something into it - but its almost useless to you now anyhow like it sits - i'd go for it.
TDI pump head. Yes but No.
About 98% NO
Will bolt, probably run some, maybe sketchy at best without right injectors.
But its over your head and a waste of a more valuable pump. to be honest
if you can't get that piece out
i can look up a local'ish guy i know who had a couple/few 1.6 NA Pumps that he kept off running engines. He converts diesels to gassers.
ive tried heating it up, with the welder will it turned red thers no more grip. it wont come out. the metal itself is very week.
yea if you can get me in contact with him i would really appreciate it
I didn't even notice you had added some input in that re-quote.
But if you can get it that hot again - try shoving a candle into it/on to it.
Do that 2-3 times with heat - candle.
Then a left hand threaded easy-out (threads backwards [counterclockwise] into hole in the delivery valve) as it threads in it will lock inside and turn the delivery valve back out.
or-
a drive-in extractor tool - its like a 4 edged reamer you drive in with a hammer - then wrench it counterclockwise.
Just so happens i drove by where that guy had his shop yesterday, going somewhere else. The place is now vacant and for lease.
There is a NAPA right next door, they will probably know where he went.
Put a WANT TO BUY listing in parts section of NCdubs website.
Probably get some good leads or prospects there too.
thanks everyone for your help.

Hi,
I know this is an old post but does anyone know if there is a tutorial of any kind showing how to replace the injection pump head seal (o-ring) without taking the pump off the car and not completely removing the pump head?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Does anyone have an updated link for this tutorial? The link in the 4/2019 post appears to be dead
Thanks
