Sabre Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 The dreaded 300 TDi vacuum pump topic again. Has anyone found a cure for the leaking pumps yet ? I have drilled out the rivets, made new O-rings, bolted together, but they do not last long. Apart from buying a new (suspect) pump, how do I solve this problem ? All help appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I just coughed up in the finish and bought a Bearmach one. The genuine, Wabco ones just appear to be carp. So far, problem solved, but it's only been about six months. Hahahaha, I didn't expect the forum censor to come up with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the forum censor calls it, the truth will be known I will try and source a Bearmach. Wabco does not have a good reputation with my parts supplier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill van snorkle Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Sometimes the non return valves in the Wabco vacuum pump disintegrate or the springs lose their tension, due to heat I guess. I found that the valves from an old 2 1/4 litre CAV mechanical petrol pump were identical and made for a successful repair. Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
