True. My jack isn't really a pad, it's a U jack so I can probably rig up a thru-bolt or something at the bottom of the unistrut to rest on the teeth. Maybe strap that down too for added safety.

Question: What did you accomplish today?
Me: YES
I managed to destroy my HPFP, specific the solenoid part. How?
As I was tightening the spark plug on the fourth cylinder, I ran the ratchet over the pump with the torque wrench while abstracted and pulled it all off.

When I did my plugs I was very concerned about this happening. I had one coil ground where the top nut and stud bold were moving together with the ground lug wanting to go for the ride. I found an old flat wrench that must have come with an item I needed to assemble (I save everything tool related) that could fit under the ground lug and hold the bolt while I removed the top not. No help to you at this point, but perhaps anyone else who encounters this.

You can find unistrut at Home Depot ot Lowes for cheap too. Just be careful, even though it's steel, it tends to be mild steel. I have seen in bend and/or crack in certain instances.

There’s a whole generation of people making a culture of hack BS for what’s a very simple job with $12 worth of lifetime warranty hardware and a $20 strut spreader that’ll last a lifetime.
I get it, not everyone is a professional technician, but it’s far from difficult to just do VWs maintenance procedures.

Yeah. I noticed them turning together. So i thought i flipped the switch to reverse on my powered screwdriver, but apparently didn't & it ripped it right off.
And i can normally hold the bottom but with needlose vice grips but couldn't find them. Tried needlenose pliers so i could at least do the others and change pcv. That didn't work.
Oh well, i got some slim wrenches & I'll just wait for the grounding kit to come to do everything at once

I live in Piraeus Drapetsona.
Just received a used pump from a friend. Tomorrow I’ll install it.

I ran a Liqi Moly engine flush through her and changed the oil. I put some ceratec in with the new oil; I don't know if it will do anything.

Even my "ignition" wrenches were not low profile enough. A very slim fit.

Just installed the "new" HPFP.
I was impressed by the larger orifice of the new pump compared to mine. Does this means something?
Also, the fault that I had with the defective HPFP. Just for archive to the forum. Hope will help someone anytime.
