Title: Bosch ve pump part wanted
Post by: Soft top on October 07, 2015, 12:22:35 PM: I have a pump for a Landrover 300tdi and it needs a new throttle spindle with the attached yoke.
Was wondering if someone on here has a wrecked pump or parts laying around that they dont need???
Happy to pay for it.

This is the part I need.

On a down side, I don't have that part sorry :-( I must have binned it in my recent house move. I used the 11mm head off my spare 300tdi pump to build into my mrs' golf tdi. It's specced for 220/230bhp now just needs the map doing. She's probably gonna have a bit of a shock going from 90bhp to 200+ when I do get round to mapping it. Not gonna tell her ;)

Post by: Head Womble on October 08, 2015, 09:27:21 PM: I have a dead 300tdi pump, I have no idea what's wrong with it, it just stopped working.

Ok so I was running a high percentage of missfuel and it died.

If you think the throttle spindle will still be good I can whip it out and post it off.

Post by: Soft top on October 09, 2015, 09:02:52 AM: Thanks to those that replied but I think I have got it sorted now.
After I asked on the forums I found that there is more than one type of spindle fitted to these pumps. Any specialists I phoned wanted the pump number which is unlegible on my pump. I took the old one to a specialist yesterday and he has ordered what he thinks is the correct one.

Post by: GedsJeep on October 09, 2015, 09:41:26 AM: i phoned a mate last night who`s two weeks late coming down for a tank of veg.

the conversation went like this....

"you must be running short now, unless you`ve been off work or its broke"

" silence "

"ok, what happened?"

"the back collapsed.............."

the prosecution rests.........

you may enjoy this....

Great read
Particularly like this bit
