  you win a cookie!!!Its a "vw" preluber,now get out in the garage and build one!!!!  :twisted: buildin' stuff is fun!! use an old vacuum pump,,pull the seal out of the bottom,so the oil pump feed to the pump,can drain back easier,,and make sure you weld the nut real good,cause itll leak oil. i found out the hard way,basically plug that feed in the tool or you will have a gusher.then make sure you clean out the inside realgood before using it,no sense in dumping crap in your engine,we vw guys build stuff all the time how come i havent seen one of these yet?im kinda surprised :cry:

• My D24T oil pump is crank driven....No prelubbin for me:(
  Come to think of it, my vac pump is driven by the worlds heaviest pushrod.  Maybe I should go electric, but the pushrod thing has been very reliable.

  YOU  R THE MAN!!!years ago,my 1.6td had a snapped off glow plug,number 3,it sucked,,,igot a big set,and welded a big ol' nut to the broken part, it was snapped off flush in the head!!i got it out,but i didnt know the thread size,and the threads were burred up a little,so i made a glowplug thread tap,,,use nuts and bolts as taps,if you grind a notch across them, zap themon a wire wheel,,granted it isnt as good as real thing,but it worked for what i needed,enjoy fabbing tools!!!!!dont buy it,make it,and learn!!!

• Very cool homemade tools!
  
  I could really use a preluber like that for a splined shaft oil pump.

• I know this one because I've read some of your other posts referring to it...  I'll let someone else try to guess instead of ruining the fun and mystery.   :wink:  Neat to see these pics, very creative!
