[Vwdiesel] '91 Jetta TD fuel pump leak

[Gary Shea]

Hi --

I just had one of these (albeit on an '82 rabbit diesel), the leak was
coming from around the shaft of the timing advance lever.  The seals kit
was US$10.22.

Afterwards I did indeed set the timing.  The tools to set the timing
cost about US$100 if you are lazy and just buy the recommended stuff
online or over the phone, that's what I did.  Various folks have been
more creative and resourceful.

Setting the timing is not rocket science, nothing to be intimidated by
(although a bit of fear is always healthy ;).
