If you take a really close look at the first picture you will see that that is exactly the number on the side of it. Also has a number 717 400 00 049 or possibly 048. I think the number 717 400 is one that is on the 5 speed getrags. At least that's what I saw in looking around on other sites.

If # 3 is leaking noticeably less fuel than the others, you have identified the problem. They screwed up your pump! You should demand that that shop FIX IT. The fix is to either provide you a rebuilt IP or pay to have your IP rebuilt, and a rental car while yours is down. Repeat the test.
