Vacuum Pump

[TonyTDTruck]

Where is the best place to buy a vacuum pump for my 1.9TD AAZ?
Can the drive shaft be replaced or do I need a new pump?
The damage is where the drive shaft of the vacuum pump plugs into the oil pump drive shaft.
Some how it got worn out.

oil pump drive tang wear is super common on these engines.

Good to know R.O.R.-2.0.

The ultra expensive route is the www.partsplanceinc.com IIRC I have the magazine and it is something in the neighborhood of high 200 dollar range.

idk much about AAZ motors or parts, since they are a canada only thing.. i know alot about IDI engines in general, but thats about it.

im one of the WORST people to be asking about NEW PARTS, because i try to re-use or rebuild everything.. im one of the cheapest bastids on the forum.. what some would call FRUGAL, but i just call it CHEAP.

Holy smoke! $259 for a vac pump. For that price you can place a motor in the wind driven by a propeller while the car in in motion.
My troubles are getting worse. Where can I find a good used cylinder head? I have a shop looking at mine and they told me yesterday it's toast as well.
Looking on web sites, I see prices ranging from $750 to $1000 US.

i have a GREAT casting that i might be persuaded to get rid of.. its all there, but it needs a couple things.

Good to know about the bow tie slot. From the  feed back I'm getting it sounds like this is a common  or normal wear for this pump.
I found a new head assembly at boraparts.com for $650. This is a complete assembly. For the price it looks like a great deal.
Thanks
