It’s amazing, the bits you can get for old cars. In some cases, MGBs for instance, you can even buy a brand new bodyshell for goodness sake. But at the other end of the scale, some parts just aren’t available, no matter how big your wallet is. Looking at the high pressure fuel pump assembly on our VW Jetta GTI, I had a distinct feeling I was looking at some parts made out of unobtanium.
I didn’t think the high pressure pump itself would be a problem, as it’s similar to many other fitted to other cars of the period. In fact it looks very similar to the ones on my old Mercedes 500 SEC. Good thing too,
