Pump nozzle unit bridge for Volkswagen T5 (2.5 TDI)
VW T5 2.5 TDI pump nozzle unit bridge
The original PDE bridge, developed by 07eins back in 2015 and installed in thousands of vehicles since then - a now proven means of repairing damaged cylinder heads, as well as preventing function-threatening damage to the injector seal seats.

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 during cold start and when the engine is particularly hot.
- Unsteady idling (speed fluctuations) or sporadic misfires at low speed ("swallowing" of the engine)
- Diluted engine oil ("engine oil proliferation") due to diesel mixture (oil level increases over time)
- Missing / low oil pressure when the bearing shells are already worn out due to diesel in the oil
- Engine stalling in city traffic
- Loss of power
- Compression loss
For more important information, see: "What happens if I don't do anything about it and I don't install a bridge for the pump-injector unit (PDE)?".
What happens if I do nothing about it and I do not install a bridge for the unit injector (PDE)?
- In all diesel engines with pump-injector units (PDEs) that are bolted on one side, the PDEs work their way more and more into the cylinder head over the course of their service life.
- This causes diesel to mix into the engine oil due to leaks.
- The lubricating effect of the engine oil is significantly reduced, which over time leads to complete engine damage.
Details on the origin 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 is specially developed for VW 5-cylinder 2.5 liter TDI engines with pump-injector unit.
- The PDE body holders are a more universal development of the PDE bridge, suitable for all 3-cylinder, 4-cylinder, 5-cylinder and 10-cylinder VAG/VW TDI engines with unit injectors.
- Customers with a VW 5-cylinder 2.5-liter TDI engine with a unit injector thus have a choice between the PDE bridge and the PDE body mounts. Most of these customers opt for the PDE bridge, as longer experience values are still available here.
What experience values are 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?
- The PDE bridge ensures more even fixing of the PDEs compared to the factory-fitted clamping shoes, which are only fixed on one side.
- This prevents, especially when the gasket sets are replaced at the same time and the reinforced 07eins-VITON gasket rings are used, the PDEs from working their way back into the cylinder head and causing the familiar problems due to leaks.

How does the installation work?
- Our products are installed without any modifications / work on the engine/cylinder head. Original bolts and mounting points are used. Service-related reassembly 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-injector units are replaced by the PDE bridge elements.
- Professional revision and disassembly of the unit injector elements requires the use of new expansion bolts and sealing elements. If required, selected complete sets of consumables in excellent quality are available at the following link:
PDE bridge (complete set)
- The installation can either be done for you by any automotive workshop or you can do it yourself if you are technically skilled accordingly.
Where can I find a suitable automotive workshop?
You can easily find suitable automotive workshops for the installation of the 07eins PDE bridge with our installation workshop finder:07eins partner workshops
Can I do the installation myself?
Experienced screwdrivers can also dare to install the 07eins unit injector 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 makes sense?
- We always recommend renewing all seal sets of the pump-nozzle units, especially the uses of the 07eins reinforced VITON seals.
You can find a complete set in our store:

- In addition, we recommend in this course also to renew the line set completely. For the 2.5 TDI engine you will find in here in our store:VW T5 wiring harness
Sandra Enhuber
"From the design of the homepage, the clear store, to the answering of my specific questions - I was just absolutely satisfied. And my T5 purrs and runs better than ever. THANK YOU!"
Klaus Grübl
"Did it the other day on the 2.5 Tdi T5 bus, really worth it, no more diesel in the oil and starts perfectly! Seats were already badly attacked before!"
Georg belly
"Very good products and very good service! Requests are responded to quickly and without complications. My Post Caddy 2.0 SDI runs perfectly again with the PDE body holders, very quiet idle and starts immediately in any situation. Clear recommendation!"
Raik Arrow
"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 offered are top, as is the service. Returns also work without any problems. I can only recommend."

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