Firstly great vid. Now that we know what to do, dont do this. Instead buy the bypass kit thats going to fix this problem forever. Google vacuum pump delete kit and you'll be on your way. Yes as far as difficulty you should have a proper basic tool set with torx bits and sockets to change your coolant and vacuum lines. This job takes a leisurely 20-30 minutes with most of that time spent removing the pump itself. Use blue loctite and dont strip the threads.

Do you lose the normal functions of the vacuum?, or just get rid of the leaking problem?
How much would a job of this cost? My girls moms jetta has the same leak location
