injector vacume pipe?

Post by greenetribe »

Someone fitted a Golf engine I belive to the van I bought and have left the original injector pump on which menas it has an extra bit on top with a vacume pipe going down to the manifold joing just where the oil pipe goes out to the turbo. Unfortunatly becase of the extra bit on top the whole thing rubs on the engine cover. I have bought an old transporter injector pump but dont know if I can just replace the old one as I don't know what the vacume pipe does? Help please!

That pipe is connected to the inlet manifold & controls the fuel boost .If you change the injection pump you need the 1.6td one that has it on the side of the pump. Or modify the engine lid to give it clearance.
