Easy installation for spare parts.

2000 Jetta tdi, 382,000 miles. Soft brakes, uneven idling, serious lack of power. Wow what a difference! Incredible stopping power now. Very easy to install with common tools

Pros
  • custom seals are made from our patented military grade fluorocarbon rubber and are rated for extreme temperatures and TDI engine oils.
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Diesel Dub slows down gently? This set is for you!

Online installation guide available. Quality item at a reasonable price. If you have completely bled your VW diesel brakes and are still not getting a firm brake pedal, your vacuum pump probably needs this kit. Easy to install and smart choice as the vacuum pump housing and drive rarely fail.

Pros
  • Resealing your pump is easy and effective!
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Excellent product as a spare

Great price and the seals did what they were designed to do. My vacuum pump was leaking at the bottom of the pump, ordered this reseal kit and it worked like a charm. It is easy to install to replace worn out seals. It took me more time to just clean the components and cylinder head where the water leaked than removing the pump, installing the gaskets and reinstalling the pump.

Pros
  • Includes all the gaskets needed to restore the ALH TDI vacuum pump and prevent oil leakage.
Cons
  • poorly designed

Works great, o-ring is a bit stuck

Works great but installing the rim/orange o-ring was very tight where it went, slipped about 30 times and had to be reassembled very quickly or it would slip off the o-ring. Ringhain because it's too small, not sure if it should be that tight or not, but it's doable and just a minor setback. The black seal, harder and more specific, was the perfect size. But I'm glad I stopped the vacuum leak at the source!

Pros
  • Made in USA RKX Vacuum Pump Reseal Kit Compatible with Volkswagen 1.9 ALH TDI.
Cons
  • Ok for the most part, but...
