Title: Need IP front seal
Post by: TDDrew on March 04, 2008, 01:14:58 pm

The 79 rabbit has been sitting for about a year. I went to start it and it wont lift any fuel. Pouring fuel into the pump inlet reveals that the pump front seal is puking fuel.  
Where can I get a new front seal and are there any other seals I should consider replacing at this time.


Thanks,
Drew

You could do them all. Are you sure the bushings are ok (it didn't leak before)?

It did not leak before, ran like a champ. My guess is that the seal just dried out, who knows maybe the fuel thats in there will swell the seal back up and it'll work fine.

I've never replaced the seals on the IP's before, nor have I been able to find them yet. Any recommendations?

Huh, I googled  this place and all I came up with was ford/dodge/chevy diesel parts here: http://www.swdiesel.com/  
Can you post a link or do I need to call them for VW stuff?

Thanks,
Drew

Call them.  I needed a TD Injector while on a road trip and they had it in stock.  NA11X.

I've called them and they've had the VW Pump Seals in stock and shipped very fast.

They will also rebuild Injectors and turn them around very fast if you request it.
