>My fuel pump decided to leak so I ordered a new one ( right part no etc.)..
>Problem is it won't fit. Side view the shape is perfect . But the new shaft that lies on the cam is a U shaped piece as opposed to an l shape. Hi, Sounds like exactly the same problem I had a few months ago. Eventually I had to go for a secondhand pump, as all the pattern ones I was sent had the wrong lever profile. I had checked everything (comm no, engine no) and the pumps supplied were correct on paper, but not in practice. Some installs have a spacer block between pump and the block (mine doesn't), but with one the pump lever wouldn't touch the cam & without one it was too far in. The only thing I didn't consider was that the engine may have a different cam in it (I haven't changed it, but the PO may have done). This is on a UK spec MkIV with screw in fuel lines (as opposed to push fit). Short answer : my solution was a good secondhand pump, rather than a new repro one I think you may be able to get rebuild kits for the pumps, but mine had a cracked casing, so I needed a whole new pump.
