A6 2.5 TDI diesel fuel pump problems

[acetaylor]

i am trying to locate a diesel pump for my 1996 2.5 TDI (85kw, AAT, 5 Cyl) but am having real problems.

a new bosch pump is far to much money (approx. £1000!! all inc.) and a chinese copy is poor build quality.

even reconditioning the old pump could cost an arm and a leg (£300-£550)

Anyone out there got any ideas where a used one could be found??
The part number is (Bosch 0 460 415 994).


cheers

I'm afraid diesel pumps are expensive which everway you look at it. They are a pretty precise bit of high pressure hydraulic engineering and from my brief experience of working with them in a test environment make a hell of a mess if they do break.
I would recommend is a good Bosch diesel repair agent in you area and take a deep breath as you open the wallet. The other option is salvage yards but decent ones usually know what they've got so will charge accordingly....

am going to send pump to 'Deisel Bob' in the midlands for a quote on repair cost, seems like a good place.

massive saving compared to new price.

thanks for help everybody

hi

i have a fully recond fuel pump for my audi and i want to sell it.
if you can send me the part number and engine type (mine is AAT).


they are v hard to track down as a used part (took me two months, looking everyday) and expensive to get brand new (£1000+) or even reconditioned (£400+)

hope this is some help

hi my engine code is AFB.

[acetaylor]

sounds like the wrong pump for your engine type.

can you give me the fuel pumps audi part number (or bosch part number)
and i will have a final check.

The best place to get your exsisting pump reconditioned that i have found is called 'Diesel Bob'. google it and you'll find a contact number there. i found them very helpful.

failing this you could call 'Lucas Parts' for a quote on a brand new pump.

Good luck
