THERE IS NO GASKET ON THE PAS PUMP AND RE THE BOLTS PUT SOME LOCTITE ON THEM AND JUST TO THEM UP SENSIBLE TIGHT;

Sorry for the shouting, left caps lock on

Whereabouts in the NE are you?

Not sure If I remember correctly as I changed mine last year but is there is a rubber O ring on each pipe that connects to the pump . Regards Jonathan

I changed the pas pump on the wife's TDi 300 last month and I can confirm that there is an O-ring on the output side and a straightforward pipe and Jubilee clip on the inlet side.


The new pump made a surprising difference to the feel of the car - much nicer to drive.
