Rocker Cover Gasket might not be available on its own; two different Garages found only the complete Rocker Cover was available... ?The advice from @audifan is absolutely spot on, Bosch pump plus genuine crush gasket is the only way. Also hoses will be required and possibly an engine cover gasket. Get some EGR seals too as the engine cover is only rely possible with the EGR removed.
One tip from me, I degrease with brake cleaner and a brush ?
I have found this to be true.Rocker Cover Gasket might not be available on its own; two different Garages found only the complete Rocker Cover was available... ?
Depends which cover you have, they were upgraded. The original seal is not available so you have to buy a cover and seal. Once you have the upgraded cover, which makes the TDi much quieter, you can get replacement seals.Rocker Cover Gasket might not be available on its own; two different Garages found only the complete Rocker Cover was available... ?
Struggling to find one at all!Depends which cover you have, they were upgraded. The original seal is not available so you have to buy a cover and seal. Once you have the upgraded cover, which makes the TDi much quieter, you can get replacement seals.
Hi Audifan,NO Replace the tandem. Less work and more success. Go for a Bosch replacement tandem as they are a far better pump, remember to get a new OEM metal crush gasket with the 2 extra tracts of silicon. They will leak if there is no silicon.
Bosch tandem pump part number F009D02799
Hi ,Keith... The pump is made by Bosch and sold through outlets. If you can find a reseller with a discount then so much the better. If not then it will be normal retail from the reseller. Do a google search on the part number then compare the prices and AVAILABILITY. Remember Bosch tandem does not come with a gasket but some of the resellers bundle one with the pump. Either way ensure that you get an OEM quality one with the extra tracts of blue silicon.
Pump part number is F009D02799

PLEASE REMEMBER THE BOSCH TANDEM IS A DIRECT REPLACEMENT IN THE AMF ENGINE ONLY. IF YOU HAVE A BHC OR ATL YOU WILL NEED AN EXTRA PART TO MOVE THE ASV CLEAR OF THE TANDEM PUMP.
Hi Fishman,Just fitted the Bosch pump and gasket to my AMF as recommended by Audifan. 10seconds of cranking and it burst into life. The workshop manual suggests using a vac pump to maintain the prime within the fuel system. I however used pipe clamps on the supply and return and it worked just fine!
