So, are you asking for a pump? Or asking why it didn't work?
I presume it's got injectors and injector pipes?
If you need a pump, best bet would be to call some breakers, with the details of your engine, non turbo, TD, TDI, ect

:? Surely Petrol Pumps and diesel pumps are entirely different beasts and I couldn't even fathom how it would be possible even to fit a petrol pump to a diesel engine :? :?

First thing, find out what engine you have, I see from a previous post of yours it's from a '97 so you need to find out engine type. Then post an ad in the wanted section, I can't imagine a petrol pump would work (but I'm not a mechanic) can't picture how it would fit anyhow?

ok..first things first...theres no way on earth that you will be able to get it to run with a petrol fuel pump.the pump on a diesel is integral with the timing belt.if theres no diesel pump on it then theres no timing thus no running.
as im to believe the engines from a polo will have the dipstick on the opposite side to normal and it will need to be blocked off
have you got a camera to take some pics of the engine bay with the new engine in ???

If you are confused by petrol / diesel fuel pump, was the oil pump and oil sump changed?

Sorry, but if you don't understand the basic difference between petrol and diesel engines, I seriously doubt your ability to change a lug nut. :run
Please put the man on and pics so we can understand what is, what was, and what will be.... Then maybe we can help. :ok

And put where you are located. Then maybe someone who lives nearby can help.

Where are you based? I know there is a breaker near me that had a 1.9d polo motor in as i had some of the bits off it for my 1.9. I think it had a fuel pump on it. Really easy to set up, if you know how. The engine code was AEF. If its any help feel free to give me a shout.
