steve b Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Afternoon All The re-sealing of the leaky 300 Tdi has gone fine , but it has thrown this up please excuse the low quality pic's . I'm not sure which let go first , the pump actuator or the cam but I think it's time it was blanked off and has a 12v Vac. pump . I did check the spray nozzle and it is clear . I think several people on here have fitted 12v vac. pumps so was looking for recommendations of pump and supplier cheers Steve b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Anyone got any links to topic's on here about 12v brake vac. pumps ? I tried the forum search but didn't find anything in the first 10 pages . A google shows some OEM pumps on amazon around £80 but presumably they won't have the control switching or relay etc. The aftermarket ones seem to be around £200 upwards . cheers Steve b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Does anyone do an alternator with built in pump like the TD5? MIght be a tidy way to replace it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 I did give that some thought , pretty tight for space to the exhaust manifold and a long run for the oil pipe from the other side too . Not completely ruled out though . cheers Steve b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cackshifter Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I do recall someone recommending the Audi vacuum pumps; can't find the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 I've been thinking a trip to my local friendly motor trade supplier might be worthwhile - I'll start with Audi pump and vac. switch ta Steve b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Ford has several models with a vac pump on the back of the alternator.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve b Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Great stuff Mr Shifter , Audi pumps look to be the common choice , I'll just need to ID the Audi sensor that switches it on and off to go with it , thanks for looking for it As an aside we've not heard from Boydie in a while , I do like his wild outback trips that have been posted cheers Steve b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cackshifter Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I think they may be hella pumps really. Just search for hella vacuum pump, google or ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmayco68 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Does everyone think that going to an electric vacuum pump is a good idea? The reason I’m asking is I’ll be rebuilding the 300tdi engine on my project soon so I will be refurbish or replacing the one that was on there anyway. cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cackshifter Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I meant to post this link on the prev post link. I'd say a up30 or up32 would be best; the up28 only has half the life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
