My pump has started leaking from the pump head, but nowhere else at the moment. I'd normally pull the pump and completely reseal it, but I plan to drop a 1.6TD in the Golf before long so I'd like to keep the work on the current pump to a minimum.
Is there a place where I can buy just the o-ring separately?
thanks,
Jory
damn, didn't realize that was my first post on this board. guess I've been lurking.
hi everyone
Oh Hi! And welcome..
I usually get mine from Seattle Injector. They can sell whole kits or just parts. here is the contact info:
1410 Airport Way South
Seattle, WA 98134-1613
(206) 623-1135
A DGK-126 seal set will have that o-ring,.. and 6 nice screw-on injector caps, etc.
Any bosch service center can find the part number and get you just that o-ring.
Theree is a bosch service center locator on the internet.
I get my kits from ebay with the front seal, cheaper than my local bosch dealer.
But I did that seal on my old 85 jetta turbo diesel that I picked up months ago, because it sprung a leak there after my first drive home! I did that seal and then it started coming out of the cold start lever!
So then I pulled the pump off and did as many of the seals as I could without complete teardown because I didn't know any better. Finally I put a new seal on the mainshaft but after I took the old rock hard seal off I noticed major shaft wear
When I went to start the car up fuel spit out all over my timing belt. I already knew I couldn't use the pump like that after reading on the forums but I wasn't expecting that
Anyways maybe its coincidence that mine sprung a leak elsewhere but be prepared?
