2.5TDI vacuum pump seal replacement?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   When doing some checks into why the turbo boost is slow in picking up (requires>1800rpm), I have found a split seal/grommit at the vac. pump on my brother's 2.5TDI van, it seals the hard plastic pipe that goes over to the brake servo (and other vac. actuator bits n bobs), but VW don't supply the replacement part 
The rubber grommit is apparently part of the actual pump itself (£400+VAT  part # 070145209J) Does anybody have an idea what non-genuine parts manufacturer would supply this rubber piece seperately? I don't know where to start as usually the fiddly little bits I get from my commercial VW centre that normally has everything I need.
Any leads much appreciated

	Oooh thats interesting, I had exactly the same issue with mine recently. All I did was clean and clean and clean with brake cleaner and carefully stick it back together with superglue and insert it into the plastic hose smearing a little grease on the vacuum outlet on the pump then wobble the pipe back on carefully. As to where you find a new, one god alone knows. I'm surprised you dont have to buy the vacumm pipe to the servo to get it. Let me know if you get a result.

	unfortunately tried that, took a lifetime of explanation as to my problem with VW so I emailed them pictures and they ordered the vacuum pipe (£22) but when it arrived the grommet was nowhere to be seen, then they figured it was part of the pump (£400). Strange how there's no part number for it. VW's suggestion was to find a scrappies!? My thinking is that good 'ol VW use the same bits on plenty of their vehicles so there must be the same part somewhere else (hopefully with a part number that can be ordered) Till then I will have to do as you've had to and glue it back together carefully and hope it holds till something better comes along Cheers

	Well Theres only one word I can think of that apt. ARSES !! I'll keep looking for a solution too as I'm not really happy with it being glued. I think they get torn when you shove the pipe back in, I found that if you give it a smear of grease and wobble it on it just slips in like it grew there. I think I tore it with shear brute force !!!

	Could you not remove the fitting off the end of the hard plastic pipe Then fit a short piece of tube to the spigot on the pump Then a plastic elbow like this one (dunno if its the right size) onto that short tube Then another short length of tube Then fit it to the hard plastic pipe If all the part is is a rubber seal and it serves no other purpose ie not a valve Then all you need is to make/find something to adapt the fitment Just a thought
