it's the axle that seizes and the pulley continues to be driven.  :smiley:

That's a major accident you've had. You need a new pump, and be sure that the whole system get's cleaned for any metalshrapnels before fitting the new unit.

I have bought mine from this company, at 1/4 of the price from VW Denmark, this i would like to point out is a new unit and not a refurbed unit  :happy2:

Andy:
the unit to replace is near the £1000 mark when i had a squeak and the dealers thought it was the compressor but it turned out to be the aux belt
