I have been given a time slot on Saturday at TDIFest for a tech session. After discussion with VeeDubTDI, we decided that I could do a session on resealing an injection pump, including the pump head. I have my own unique way of doing this on the car. Different than Dieselgeek's stretch-the-o-ring-around-the-outside-of-the-pumphead method.

I will also touch on many basics of how these pumps work and also show a common issue almost every VE pump TDI has; the case pressure relief valve.

If anyone attending Fest has a pump they'd like resealed, the labor to have me do it as a part of this tech session will be free. Just purchase a Bosch seal kit from one of TDIClub's trusted vendors (Boraparts, idparts, dieselgeek etc.), bring it and the car with you.

Ideally I would do this on an ALH. The angle of the pump on that engine makes it easier to show what's going on to a crowd. The upright nature of the 1Z/AHU pumps isn't as easily visible for such a demonstration. But I'll work with whatever comes up.

Where in California are you? Remember that Matt is in Santa Maria and travels all over CA, working on TDIs. Perhaps you can attend a GTG nearby where he will be sometime.

Yes indeed. I am in California and can do the job for you!

So, still no takers for a FREE injection pump reseal at Fest, huh?

I don't believe it has been taken yet! Congratulations - one FREE injection pump reseal for you! :cool:

NOTE: *parts not included* - you will need to purchase your own reseal kit from one of the vendors. I recommend IDParts or Bleached Bora - both of whom will be at Fest and can bring those parts with them.

I have a seal kit with me if it doesn't make it in time. $25.

Thanks for volunteering! I'll see you at Fest.
