This is what I have on my engine (well, one just like it, anyhow): http://images.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/pix/4357146.jpg
If I get rid of the cable without 'doing something' then I am stuck with that drive connection exposed - which can allow oil to leak out - or grime to find it's way in... I'm trying to make sure there isn't a 'better option' besides 'new oil pump' or 'buy a new drive gear and hope you measured right'.... Just replacing the cover won't do, because the oil-pump drive gear that I currently have, has another gear on the top to make that tach-drive work. So if I could keep using it to drive a tach sender, that would be 'ideal'... Or if there was somewhere I could buy a cap to screw on the end, to keep stuff from getting in & oil from getting out...
