Pump nozzle unit bridge for Volkswagen T5 (2.5 TDI)
VW T5 2.5 TDI pump nozzle unit bridge
The original PDE bridge, already available in 2015 from 07eins and installed in thousands of vehicles since then - is now a tried-and-tested means of repairing damaged cylinder heads and preventing damage to the injector sealing seats that could jeopardize their function.

Frequently asked questions about the PDE bridge
Is my vehicle also affected?
It affects all diesel engines with pump-injector units (PDE) that are bolted on one side.
How do I notice that something is wrong with my vehicle?
- Starting problems with the engine, especially at cold start and when the engine is particularly hot
- Unsteady idling (speed fluctuations) or sporadic misfires at low engine speeds ("choking" of the engine)
- Diluted engine oil ("engine oil build-up") due to diesel mixture (oil level rises over time)
- Lack of / low oil pressure if the bearing shells are already worn due to diesel in the oil
- Stalling of the engine in city traffic
- Loss of power
- Loss of compression
Further important information under: "What happens if I do nothing about it and do not install a bridge for the pump/nozzle unit (PDE)?"
What happens if I do nothing about it and do not install a bridge for the pump-nozzle unit (PDE)?
- In all diesel engines with pump-injector units (PDE) that are bolted on one side, the PDEs work their way more and more into the cylinder head over time.
- As a result, leaks cause diesel to mix into the engine oil.
- The lubricating effect of the engine oil is significantly reduced, which over time leads to complete engine failure.
Details on the cause of the damage and the functional principle of the PDE bridge can be found in our video:
Functional principle of the PDE bridge (pump-nozzle bridge) to prevent cylinder head damage
Do I need the PDE bridge or the PDE body holders?
- The PDE bridge has been specially developed for VW 5-cylinder 2.5 liter TDI engines with a pump-injector unit.
- The PDE body holders are a more universal further development of the PDE bridge, which is suitable for all 3-cylinder, 4-cylinder, 5-cylinder and 10-cylinder VAG/VW TDI engines with a pump-injector unit.
- Customers with a VW 5-cylinder 2.5 liter TDI engine with a pump-injector unit therefore have the choice between the PDE bridge and the PDE body mounts. Most of these customers opt for the PDE bridge as they have more experience with it.
What experience is there?
- The PDE bridge has already been successfully installed more than 4000 times in VW 2.5 liter TDI engines.
- The mileage usually increases by 100,000 km or more.
How does the PDE bridge work for engines with pump-injector units (PDE) installed on one side?
- Compared to the factory-fitted tensioner shoes, which are only fixed on one side, the PDE bridge ensures that the PDEs are fixed more evenly.
- This ensures a more even fixation of the PDEs, especially when the seal sets are replaced at the same time and the reinforced 07eins-VITON sealing rings at the same time, this prevents the PDEs from working their way back into the cylinder head and the familiar problems caused by leaks from occurring.

How does the installation work?
- Our products are installed without any modifications/work on the engine/cylinder head. Original screws and fixing points are used. Service-related removal for further maintenance work can be carried out without any problems due to the multi-part design.
- The factory-fitted clamping shoes 2 to 5 for the pump/nozzle units are replaced by the PDE bridge elements.
- Professional inspection and disassembly of the pump-nozzle elements requires the use of new expansion bolts and sealing elements. If required, selected complete sets of consumables of excellent quality are available at the following link:
PDE bridge (complete set)
- The installation can either be carried out by any garage or you can do it yourself if you have the necessary technical knowledge.
Where can I find a suitable garage?
Suitable automotive workshops for installing the 07eins PDE bridge with our installation workshop finder:07eins Partner workshops
Can I carry out the installation myself?
Experienced screwdrivers can also install the 07eins pump-nozzle products themselves.
The corresponding video and PDF installation guides contain all the important information with step-by-step instructions: own installation (do it yourself)
What else is useful?
- We always recommend replacing all seal kits of the pump-nozzle units, especially the uses of the 07eins reinforced VITON seals.
You can find a complete set in our store:

- We also recommend completely replacing the wiring harness at the same time. For the 2.5 TDI engine, you can find it here in our store: VW T5 wiring harness

"From the design of the homepage, the clearly laid out store, to the answers to my specific questions - I was simply absolutely satisfied. And my T5 purrs and runs better than ever before. THANK YOU"
Klaus Grübl
"I recently did this on my 2.5 Tdi T5 bus, really worth it, no more diesel in the oil and starts perfectly! Seats were already badly damaged before!"
Georg Bauch
"Very good products and very good service! Quick and uncomplicated response to inquiries. My Post Caddy 2.0 SDI runs perfectly again with the PDE body mounts, very smooth idling and starts up again immediately in any situation. A clear recommendation!"
Raik Pfeil
"Super set up, very innovative, very helpful and very good troubleshooter to solve any problems. 07eins Can be recommended with a clear conscience. Quality is and remains simply unbeatable!!!! Thank you"
Ronny Enzmann
"I am super satisfied, the products on offer are top, as is the service. Returns also work without any problems. I can only recommend it."

With more than ten years of experience in industrial and product design, we have always come to the same conclusion:
A product needs more than good design, and an excellent design needs more than a good product.
Like a single ingredient, the design fits into the overall recipe that ultimately leads to success. Without this ingredient, the result would be tasteless. The ingredient on its own would not make a dish.
This metaphor aptly describes what Concept & Product Design should look like.
