recommended BOSCH fuel pump for XUD7TE

[Ruan]

Sorry - didn't quite catch what you meant before, that's a pain!

What selection of camplates have you got that you can use? 1.8TD one - which is slightly different, IIRC the dowel is different?

If you're desperate, I can possibly get hold of one and send it to you if you're struggling to find one.

Thank you for your kind offer. I contacted the seller and he offered to let me keep the FUBAR pump and give me another 1.9TD pump from 1999 Xantia. Hopefully it will have what I need. I'll know what exact pump it is tomorrow when I'll get there.

1.8TD camplate does have different dowel and smaller inside diameter. Pump shaft is thinner as well. I wonder why are the 1.8TD pumps different? Economical reasons or something else?

Hopefully I'll have partially rusted 1.9D pump, 1.8TD pump and 1.9TD pump to pick parts from. I am going to use gov from 1.9D, camplate and plunger particulars from 1.9TD and everything else from 1.8TD. Is that a good idea?

Glad to hear it!

Interesting, I didn't know the XUD7 8mm pumps used the smaller shaft - it seems random as to whether they use the smaller shaft. A lot of VW pumps use the smaller shaft, it tends to go hand in hand with stronger return springs and a larger pump element (head).

As others have said, you can just use the XUD9TE pump, although it may be a later Xantia pump with the electronic advance mechanism, which won't work - need to see if it had a throttle position sensor and timing solenoid underneath the pump.



Circled is the throttle position sensor, there will also be 4 wires coming from underneath the pump for the timing actuator.
