[Vwdiesel] Dead (still) TDI progress (or lack thereof)

[gary]

This may not be what you are looking for because it is an on-line parts
supplier...

Check out Rusty at www.buymbparts.com

It is mainly a MB shop, but he has parts for all European cars.
He is located in Ga I believe.

I ordered a bunch of parts for my Rabbit; caliper bushings, valve cover
gasket, ball joints, and the like. Ordered on Wednesday, delivered to my
door (central Fl.) on Thursday.

His prices are about the best you will find anywhere. I don't stock with
the company, just a very happy customer. I learned about him when I had
my MB 190D 2.5.
