You'll have to ask them what they can provide. Maybe they can provide the material to you or just the diaphragm. If you need any measurements I can check the NOS unit I have: https://www.vwnos.com/021-198-555 _________________ www.vwnos.com [email protected]

Are you needing a rebuild kit for a type 4 fuel pump or a rebuilt type 4 fuel pump? No one is reproducing those type 4 kits which is why I rebuild the original type 4 Pierburg assemblies with new Effbe diaphragms.
There are some NOS rebuild kits out there. _________________ Contact me at [email protected]

I checked the 021 198 555 NOS kit https://www.vwnos.com/021-198-555
I compared it against the Wolfsburg West kit. The diaphragms are the same measurements (holes are in all the same locations). You'll just need to figure out how to get the spring from your original to the new one. The Wolfsburg West unit is pretty easy to take apart. The spring from the 021 198 555 kit is much stronger and is where you get a pressure differential between the two kits. _________________ www.vwnos.com [email protected]

Would love to get a rebuild kit (as a spare). But a pump I guess would suffice as well. _________________ 1972 Westy Hardtop/Type-4 2056cc

I don't sell the remanufactured rebuild kits separately. The reason I don't is that most of these fuel pumps need machining work to be successfully rebuilt correctly. There's some tricks of the trade to ensure they work like new.
I rebuild a lot of customers fuel pumps as well that they couldn't get to work after installing a rebuild kit. A lot of the rebuild kits sold today are terrible. WIth shipping costs these days, it is more cost effective for most customers to simply send their fuel pump in for a rebuild or purchase one outright. _________________ Contact me at [email protected]

Also-
The type 4 main diaphragm assemblies are much different than the type 1-2 or 3. The upper fuel shut off diaphragm assembly is also a different outer diameter than the type 1 so it won't fit in the seat used on type 4 pumps.
All the type 1, 2, 3 and 4 diaphragm assemblies use the same size Effbe diaphragms.
The main diaphragm spring on the type 4 pump is 1.60mm thick vs. the 1.45mm spring thickness in the type 1 and 2 pumps.
In the type 4 main diaphragm assemblies, there's a spacer and seat that is made of plastic. It's commonly broken. I make replacements on a lathe in aluminum. There is also a spring that the assembly seats against that's also broken in 1/2 the pumps I take apart. So, this is why I don't sell rebuilt assemblies for these pumps. _________________ Contact me at [email protected]

Thanks for the insight/info. I ran across a rebuild kit 10 years or so ago and nabbed it. Ended up using it a few years later on my pump. _________________ 1972 Westy Hardtop/Type-4 2056cc
