Title: Where can I buy a plunger for the high pressure fuel pump?
Post by: m4t_lee on November 16, 2011, 08:32:11 pm
I think I need a new one but dealer and tps aside does anyone know where I can get one from or does anyone have one for sale?

Cheers,

Mat

You cant buy 'the pluger' separately, this pump is a good price, around £150 to buy a new pump anyway.

Hi jack, yes I'll take it if that's ok? If you could pm me your PayPal details I'll get the money over to you straight away. Probly easier to post if that's ok as I'm in Warwick so although not too far away it's cheaper to post I'd say :)

Ah just been told that the plunger isn't in the pic you have there, not exactly sure what I'm looking for to be honest but he asked if there was another part in the box? He said the plunger goes onto the spring part?

Cheers,

Mat

Hi yin, don't think so, would the cam follower fit onto the spring part on the fuel pump?

Regards,

Mat

The mechanic is saying that I might need a fuel pump and also the plunger which fits over the spring bit.

So from what you chaps are saying the bit he's calling a plunger is in fact the cam follower?

He's a vag master technician so would have thought he'd know what a cam follower is?

No problem mate not trying to be funny but I'm still working out how to reply to these posts.
There are some that can reply to and others that I can't.

So not really a snake mate!
