[Vwdiesel] Question on Leaking Diesel Pump - Cold Start Lever - HELP!!!!

[Michael Snow]

Since you're quoting one of my posts on the subject...
If you have the tools and skills to remove, replace, and time the
injection pump, don't be afraid to tackle this yourself.  There are two
o-rings under the cold start lever that take just a few minutes to
replace once the injection pump is off the engine.
