Should the200tdi lift pump have a spacer fitted between the pump and the engine block.
Replaced pump March 2015 , replacement [Bearmach] came with spacer so checked levers where the same and fitted without spacer as non on my original.[only drove 5000miles before it failed]
Pump failed again recently ordered one from ebay of different manufacture looked like top might have been fixed with screws on in ebay pic .

Item did not turn up so seller has sent me another which has spacer and assorted bits like this ebay ad

if it has a steel cam cover plate pump bolts to yes it needs spacer if its an ali cover no as spacer is built in to the cover
kit is so the one pump fits several engines apart from tdi
 
Next time it fails, remove it totally and fit an electric pump, works well.

Since fitting the elec pump what I have noticed is if i forget to switch the pump on the car runs just fine, but when the std mechanical lift pump started to fail the power was defo down, so the lift pump itself and its non return valves must be a major flow restrictor.

Many other normal cars using the bosch ve pump dont have any other sort of pump relying totally on the vane pump in the injector pump itself.
