I agree.

Apply 12 volts, and the solenoid retracts. Remove the voltage, and it returns to the,closed position. Thread pitch/ size and attachment point for power are The same, they're just renumbered as branding..

My VW solenoid is a,Bosch unit, and functions as desired.
Glad I could help.

After my pump had a couple for lunch I took it out and ground the tip untill I could see metal starting to show and put it back in, so far 6 years later I'm good.

How does that work with little or no rubber to seal farmboy?

Mine came apart years ago when I had to back off quick on the interstate after a car cut me off. I guess I got lucky and the pieces never presented a problem - so far...

I've had the VW Bosche in there ever since with no issues.

my truck blew out a couple VW ones in a month so I opted for this and so far it has been good years.
