Author Topic: Swapping the LDA onto my NA pump (Read 2482 times)

I grabbed a Peugeot TD pump from my local wrecking yard and I took the LDA off of it. It looks like the choke is in the top cover peice, but down in the pump body on the VW pump. Should I just remove the Peugeot choke and tap a freeze plug in there or could this serve some sort of purpose? I wish someone could explain what all is going on inside the pump. I sort of understand, but could use some clarification. Anyways, I figure when I take mine apart I should do any other mods I can to it. Can anyone suggest anything and possibly even show me some pictures? Thanks!

Well, I know there is a cable connected to a pull knob in my dash....sounds like some sort of choke in my mind...but whatever you wanna call it

So, yes I'm talking about the red thing.

So are you using an NA pump with the Peugeot LDA? I would think about using the whole peugeot pump, but I see the mounting ears are different so I figured I'd just use the LDA.

Would you say there is a difference in fuel flow between a factory vw TD pump, and the NA pump with the Peugeot LDA?

Did you replace the seal on the pump top or just reuse it? I would think an o-ring could be sized to work, but I wouldn't know where to get one that big.
