IIRC, it cost me right around $860 for the timing belt replacement at Joe
Pecheles in Greenville, NC.  That price includes whatever other items are
done at the 40K service. This, I believe is a record price for auto
maintenance (other than some exotic brand). And the VW TDI is an "economy
car"??

I guess it's a engine from MAN, which makes big trucks here in Europe. They
are in a way affiliated with VW, so I guess the engine has got a VW stamp
somewhere..

Anyway, it looks like it doesn't have injectors or injection pump installed,
which probably renders it useless. Finding a used pump will be next to
impossible, at least in Northern America..
