How to video: On car VE injection pump seal replacement video

"Fully remove".... as in, take the head right off? Or just as in "remove far enough to get at the seal"?

Fully remove as in like you said, remove the pump from the car. Once removed you can put the pump in a vise vertically and remove the pump head completely when you put the new seal on. The rollers won’t fall apart that way.

leaking injection pump

well my pump has started to leak. I replaced the top seal but that didn't fix the problem . so I'm wondering who might be willing to replace the other seals if I remove and ship the pump to them. thx

So, with the pump vertical in a vise, you can just pull the head up & out, and nothing internal comes apart? I have a spare IP I want to reseal.

ALH TDI engine transplant into '84 Vanagon

Head seal I thought you were gonna have Matt put seals in it at TDI fest. Wish I could do it. Well, the leaks stopped in a day or two after I got the engine running in the garage. I just assumed that it would do better with use.... and, actually, there were times it would start almost...
