Title: Vacuum pumps
Post by: ilikevwdiesel on September 23, 2009, 11:04:21 am

I have an AAZ with a broken vac pump nipple. does anyone know if a 1.6 pump cover will fit on it? Anyways, I need a solution for this problem. Thanks  ;D

The same thing happened to me.  I completely removed the broken check valve and pressed in a piece of tubing where the check valve used to fit and just used an inline one way check valve that I had from a toyota.  Worked great and I haven't had any issues.
