[Vwdiesel] Rebuilding injection pump

[Chuck Carnohan]

Jump on it!  I doubt that anyone in the pump gang would do it for that!

A few days ago I noticed that my pump is leaking too.  I went to the 
shop(Garrett and Delphi service) and they charge about 110 US$ for
removing 
IP, full rebuilding including seals kit, mounting  and timing. Since I
don't 
have much time and zero expertise on IP I am thinking to go with the
shop. 
Is that a fair price? The pump is 212k km, on 1,9 AAZ TD 1993 engine!
Thank you,
OT: Today just signed the lease for '05, 2.0 TDI PD 140 Hp Golf. My
dream 
car is two days away! Just had to share with you guys!
All the best,
Razvan
'78 1,6 NA Glof (gone now)
'84 1,6 NA Golf
'93 1,9 TD Golf
'05 2,0 TDI PD Golf (waiting)
