lift pump
 

Any one know what kind of lift pump a 81 1.6 N/A would have and where it's mounted. I could go look for it my self but it's winter and staying inside where it's warm and asking you guys is preferable.

ask on tdiclub. They'd know better. I have NO clue about an '81 brother, but based upon a quick search, they dont have one and it's common to add one to them aftermarket.

vw diesels dont require a lift pump on that age vehicle,thats how i got my 90 jetta so cheap, he didnt bleed the fuel system so it wouldnt start.
