problem is few weeks ago the mk1 died while son was coming home from work (daily drive)
towed home ,carb empty no petrol, End of the fuel pump has broken off (removed the bits from inside rocker cover.
Got a new one from vw heritage ,fitted ran for like 30 secs,then loads of petrol pumped fron carb breather into carb flooding it (LIKE pump pressure too much ?)
fitted a new carb needle valve like told could be struggling to close with newer pump pressure
Ran for few mins then pumping fuel out againfrom breather, then nothing from new pump , even tried off the car with pipes in a bottle of petrol ,nothing coming out & can blow down both ends seems like the valves not closing inside ,only thing is its a sealed pump
Got another fuel pump from VW Heritage & a return for faulty one ,Same again ran for min or so then No fuel (pump failed)
all pipes to tank are clear
Has any one an original pump i can buy ? or a new carb ?
son needs car to get to work so this is becoming hard to have of the road
any help apprecated no garages want to help round here

Before taking mine off the road I suspected my old pump was buggered because I had a hot start problem. The new one has been fine so far.
It's like they say, buy cheap buy twice!
