The pumps normally crap out because the EGR valve is faulty. The diaphragm goes in the valve allowing moisture to get into the pump and damaging the bearings. You will need new or 2nd hand parts and I suggest you replace the EGR filter as well. What is the fault with the pump, just noisy or does it not work ?
