I have a 90 1.6 jetta and the water pump is on the bottom of the motor outside the timing cover, I can't possibly see how the injection pump would need to come off.

In my case the motor grossly outlasted the body, at 220k the car was super rusty so I swapped drivetrains with a rust free gas car I bought. Haven't finished the swap, if you're looking for a project jooseppi....
