Most likely he was confused about what he was talking about. Or possibly full of BS.

...Bosch "co-engineers" lots of stuff--some for VW, some for MB. AFAIK, MB has never used a distributor-type VE injection pump, and VW has never used an inline pump. MB currently uses a common rail injection system, and I think VW has switched over to Pump Duse--two different injection methods.
I think your Jetta friend's been sniffing glue again...

Give me a second to get my head out of the bag. Some time ago was mentioned a lot of patents incorporated in tdi engine but originator not mentioned. Thought it might be co-op engineering as the tdi engine was quite a quantum leap ahead by volkswagen. Sure the injection pump was different but became history in 03 or 04 I believe. No injection pump at all now. Guess the proof will be the first time I get a look at some of the latest mercedes diesel engine manuals.
