Mechanic said about heat on pump but remember hearing him say about cold welding??!! something to do with aluminium anyway! bolt was still in and intact so not sure why the piece has broken. He said there is another bracket behind or under that should hold it firm but not know if prob with that till its taken apart. its just all unexpected due to fact it had pump changed only 18 months ago. Do you know how much a 2nd hand pump would cost roughly??? and anywhere i could get one? i live in shropshire and no one here has got a galaxy in for spares. Noted about cam belt kit--was advised by RAC man to change whole lot. Thankyou for replying--any help really gratefully received. Its a nightmare as a woman trying to get honest trustworthy quotes for jobs on a car. Debs.

Bracket has definately snapped where pump attaches to engine. Local mechanic says it can be welded. job is going to cost

Thankyou for replying. Have taken some photos to show the local garage as been advised not to drive incase knock timing out. Will keep you all posted! It might help someone else or someone might suggestions for me once find out exactly what problem is.

Can anyone help me on cost and locating a diesel pump for R reg Galaxy 1.9tdi. Pump went on it 18 months ago just b4 i bought the car and it had another one fitted. My fuel pipe snapped in half yesterday and RAC chap said it was because of broken diesel pump---broken where it bolts to engine, causing vibration--hence snapped pipe! What are my options??? Possible costs?--pump and labour charges to do. Car in good condition but just lost my job, so need advice as to whether fixing!! Thankyou. Debs.
