Cross threaded brass bolt where union nut screws in... Help
« on: March 30, 2021, 04:34:09 pm »
Hi all,
Just got golf gti mk5 2005 and I tried to change cam follower
And I messed up the threading

It's the bolt next to banjo bolt, where union nut attaches to.
Now I have not got a clue what it is called nor the part number
My car been sitting for a week and I'm pretty vexed at my self

In the picture it's purple arrow pointing at

I don’t think that’s the correct part? Isn’t it threaded both ends? The one you have above looks similar to the left side of the pump with the newer non banjo style.

It looks like it comes with the pump and isn't available separately,  probably best look for a 2nd hand pump.

Hi thank you all for your input.
So the picture was from a second hand one. Thst a breaker wants to sell me for 160
All I wanted is the bolt.
I've heard how people change to new style pump where there no banjo bolt
But I don't have decent mechanic...
If anyone around Middlesbrough hit me up

How badly is it cross-threaded? I.e. what percentage of the full thread length roughly? If it's not too bad you should be able to chase the original thread with a die of the right size. If you're not comfortable with that or it's properly buggered then just give your local vw dealer a call, I'm certain those fittings are availables as spares and will cost a fraction of a new pump assembly.
