Autotech pumps for me are a no go. Can blow seals although it's never happened to me. Very slow at pressure build too. They don't hold consistent pressure either.
Had a bad experience with KMD so will never use them again. They all seized.
Both the loba and apr can support over 150 bar of pressure too.
Off topic a bit, but I've had some info showing that S3 injectors flow more upto 7.5k than rs4 injectors and S3 injectors spray correctly.

There is no doubt that the Loba and APR are superior alternatives than Autotech internals, but I have had no issues with mine so far. Alex, is it not a case that any horror stories with the Autotech or down to incompetent fitting and/or not spotlessly clean preparation being carried out by the fitter?

any chance of a group buy on the loba pump?

Running autotech internals on mine now for a few years and had no problems so far, was under the same idea as Berg that most failures or horror stories were down to DIY installs :surprised:
but tbh when I had mine fitted I was unaware that it was only an internals change and not a complete replacement pump but been happy with how it's performed :happy2:

I ran an autotech one and installed it myself. Had it on for a year with no issues before I sold my car. On my new car the std pump flows up to 200 bar when needed, so it makes me wonder why VW didn't do the same.
