    You're probably right @regcheese but I don't know enough to disagree with you either as I never got close enough to one of these 5 cylinder pumps that runs the other direction.
    Oh I am right.....and I can do the same for £300 less.

    I build a lot of these hybrids........yet despite this, and the fact my own TDI has been running like a bag of shyte for months because of stupid electronics I'd still advise you go full TDI!

        I still despise the electronics. But when they go well. They’re sweet as a nut. And so easily worked on with diagnostics. Etc.

          I like the sound of that Reg.

          What do you need ?
          Both pumps ? And 200 quid ?

            Ideally I'd need to find a donor pump for the LDA top as well - but that's in the £200 charge, you might even get change.

            Yes, most definitely.

              Ok Reg.
              My bro is ready with the two pumps removed and on the bench ready to go. (2.4 and 2.5)
              Can you accept them ?
              Will it be easy for you to source an lda piece ?
              Cheers.
              Dan.

                Your bro aint been emailing me separately has he? You're the fourth person this week asking me to get them an LDA for a 2.4. Not done one for ages then four at once. There's one donor pump on ebay at the moment and the two other blokes are watching that one.

                Ring round breakers for a 1.7 vauxhall td pump, pay no more than £50.

                Why are you not going TDI - think you are making the wrong choice.

                      No sir. He didn’t email separately.
                      Going mtdi. Couldn’t be bothered with looms and ecu and limp and sensors and throttle pots.
                      It’s future proofing.

                      What year Vauxhall ?
                      Do you mean the old Isuzu engine in the old astra’s ?

                          It definitely aint future proofing - more like shooting yourself in the foot.

                          Looms and ECU aint scary.

                          Ah well..... yes isuzu lump.

                            Yep mechanical pump - can be made to work fairly well if you have the required bits - three donor pumps in this instance.

                                No reason why you shouldn't see 120-150 bhp
