Well, maybe the problem was the pump, maybe it wasn't, but you should have asked HERE first. There are pumps available here for a LOT less. Plus the advice you might have used to determine whether you really needed to replace the pump at all. > So now it runs good , minus the slight bogging at > first acceleration , and the slight bucking at crusing > speed and the funky idle at stop. Any one have any > ideas how to end my long torture???? What kind of gas mileage are you getting? If it is low, you may need a new voltage regulator. Measure the system voltage with the engine warm and running at med RPM. It should measure more than 14V. If it is less than 13.5V replace the VR with a genuine Bosch. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
