[Vwdiesel] Nozzle Questions

[Shawn Wright]

The two best prices I've seen are:

Halsey Imports (http://halseyimportparts.com/order.htm) - haven't actually called 
them, but am told by Jan Boldt that they are ~$8. 

Jeff at VanagonParts.com quoted me $8.84 - this for the Bosch 0 434 250 103 
nozzle.

I will probably gather together enough parts to justify shipping and order from one of 
these guys. I'm getting tired of being charged 2.5 times US pricing when exchange is 
only 1.22!
