hi
After changing twice a Bosch 0460 414 145 pump to remplace the lucas epic on a 1999 TD MK5, i was pretty confident when i decided to tear apart my lucas epic pump on a 1994 MK4 camper van. I've had way too many problems with it .. problem is, the proper bosch pump seems to be more rare than the jabberwooky in the south of france ( at a proper price..)
so i found myself a whole engine from a 1996 Di MK5 with a bosch pump 0460 414 123. As read on the forum the pump will work properly if correctly adjusted and timed. The only proble for me is what to do with the butterfly system that's originally on the di engine. Can i bypass it ?? do i have to adapt the inlet manifold to allow the pump to work properly. But then if i change the inlet manifold will it not alter the turbo ??
thanks for your help lads, i never would've tried working on this without this forum
