I had a problem with the idi timing lever at the back of the pump. DON'T use it.  It disasemble itself twice and Named Tintin had also told me a similar story. There is too much wibration with a DI camplate and maybe this is why it didn't worked.

You don't need it as the tdi will start just fine. You can always use 12V on the selenoid at the front of the pump to increase timing at idle when below -20°C (the car will fume for 15minutes if you don't at these temperatures)

Instead of the idi lever, you can use the stop plate from the TDi-e pump. It has 4 holes, but you use 2 and it will work just fine. Use gasket paste if you want but DONT use the tdi gasket as it will leak (look carefully at it and you will see why... this gasket needs 4 bolts)

There is the lever that you shouldn't use:




Also, if you need infos to inderstand a pump:

i've been using the timing advance lever for a little while now (only for about 10-30 seconds to a minute at idle to let the engine smooth out) and i haven't had any problems.

i don't have a 12mm head though.

the DI camplate makes a lot of vibration in the whole pump at low RPM... this is what is going to get the retaining circlip out! This is also the reason why they added a roller from td to tdi. I don't have a 12mm head (10mm only) and it broke twice after about 1000km to 2000km.

Don't go too far without the tools to repair it in case it breaks.

Do you have fuel leaking out? Is it always wet in this area?

Is that what you use to get the new fulcrum points for the TDI? Kinda like a gauge.

No, I measured directly when it is inside the pump.

I also measured the maxium pivot movement from an e-tdi pump.

Someone also cut a pump to make a cabarit:

And what breaks? the retaining circleclip? Or the roller? And can this be fix on the road in the dark while its snowing?

lol! Yes the retaining circlip will get away... and about the dark snowy night... anything is possible, it only depends on you.

But I wouldn't want to test myself at night at -20°C... I repaired this at -20°C during the day while snowing and it wasn't fun anymore.

Just don't do the same mistakes as everyone else. One guy in France had to change this on the side road twice on a eurovan mtdi and Named Tintin had also told me it would leak.  Three independant people.. all with the same problem. It is enough to convince me.

nothing wrong with the pump.  no leaks or anything.  Giles built it for me  :D

the advance lever works like it did on my old car.  rpm & timing boost.  timing boost is nullified at about 1800 rpm or so though so i don't think it would make too much problems.

i hope the vibrations won't wreck anything, but we'll see.  i bought a CTN transmission specifically to reduce my rpm's to keep everything happy.  and save a bit of $$$ on fuel  8)

Hey, thank you very much for all the info, it's exactly what I was looking for as well.  I've modified my control lever as you have stated and I think it is going to work well.  I have run into a few clearance issues between the lever and the pump but nothing a file couldn't fix.  

If I was to do this again there's one thing that I would do differently.  Instead of cutting down the top of the lever at the two places indicated, I think I would try shimming the entire top of the pump about 5mm using a piece of aluminum with a slot cut into one side to hold another o-ring gasket.  I haven't tested the pump yet but it seems to be binding a lttle when the caged governer spring is hooked up.  I think the reason for this is the caged spring governer lever is no longer lined up correctly.  Any thoughts anyone?

Also my first pump housing I started with was a 1.6 td.  To overcome the lack of advance on the advance piston, I installed a 3mm shim between the cover and the pump giving me the extra room to get about 9.5mm of movement.  This should work but I haven't tested this either.


I'm new to this forum but have been reading for a long time.

I have completed and tested my pump after following heys very detailed instructions.  After modifying the control lever I had 2 extra changes I had to make so everything would move freely.  The lda lever was rubbing against the top of the control lever so I trimmed about 3mm off the bottom of the lda lever.  That was enough to give me some clearance between the two.  

         The caged spring governer was also binding a little where it hooks up to the control lever since this is no longer a straight pull because the  control lever is higher.  Using a dremel, I just removed a very small amount of material corresponding to the angle that the caged spring now operates at.  These two mods totally cured any binding of movement once the top cover was bolted on.

          The toughest part for me was drilling the holes thru the control lever.  This is some of the hardest steel I have ever drilled.  I found that a cobalt drill bit worked the best.  

           Just like hey stated, I did not modify the throttle lever length either and I didn't shim any of the caged governer springs.  Good luck to who ever wishes to attempt a pump like this, it's alot of fun!

Please share your thoughts. I took some pics of my lever under construction. Might be useful in this faq. If anything looks wrong, please tell me and I will rebuild it.

Edit: I fixed my old broken links!

 hahaha!! It is really hard to drill!

If you can still reach maximum movement and have a good idle, then it's all good. If you ever feel the fuel is not sensitive enough or you can't have a low enough idle, then make this lever a little bit longer.

very nice job! I am really happy it worked well and that my explanations were usefull!! Thank you for sharing!

To Sierra94:
wow!!! really nice job!!

I can see you also grinded where the throttle lever gets attached, like 410 mentionned.

If you made a gabarit then everything is perfect... you are good to go!  Make sure the throttle lever is between 13 to 14mm. According to 410 it is not necessary but I think it's best to do it since it you will have more room to adjust idle and to play with the fuel srew.

Also, grind the boost pin lever or cut it a little bit (because the lever you are showing will be higher in the cover)... adjust the governor if needed (23.5mm from back of lever to housing outside border)... that's it!

Keep us informed of the progress.


To both of you: Are you going (or did you) to keep the 1.9td idle system or you will(are using) use a 1.6td one?

If you kept the 1.9td idle system, then can you tell us what lenght was you idle lever. I said that in theory you need to increase the lengt by 30% I think, but I never tried.
