I haven't checked the shops but I thought I read that you can't or shouldn't rebuild a 603 pump.

Sixto,

I think you're right sixto. The older pumps on the OM617 usually have seal rebuild kits and from what I understand the metal parts seldom fail. The OM603 pump is just the opposite. Considering the fact that a pump failure on an OM603 usually takes the entire engine with it I'd suggest you replace the whole pump anyway.
