  1. Hi Charles. I have a vacum pump issue that I would like your opinion on.
    I have a European vw 2.4 5 cilinder diesel engine that has a mechanical vacum pump driven by the cam. It has failed twice with new german vacum pumps and I got an electric vacum pump off an Audi.
    Can I just replace it and plug the mechanical area on the head and remove the shaft ?
    On a diesel engine, is the original mechanical vacum pump only for the brake booster? If I do this swap , should I be concerned about other issues ?
    I hope my attempt is doable. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated.
