It cost me $950US to have him do my pump and he added the LDA. At least that
was the price 2 years ago. Might be more now.  My 91 jetta runs sweet and I
have gotten a best 52.8mpg out of it and on average everyday running, with
some hard runs and some not 46mpg.

They have the pump (rebuilt) in stock.  Looking at $800US + 175 core, so
when you factor in exchange and freight and customs clearance, not much of a
difference.
Thanks for the suggestion.

    Canada is moving towards ULSD diesel. Here on Vancouver Island, seems
like this is the only flavour available now.

    My injector pump is now leaking / weeping, and I'm weeping too. (315K km
on '91 Jetta TD with MF engine, using Stanadyne / 2stroke oil in 50/50 ratio
forever).

    I have talked to a couple of diesel pump rebuilders and the dealership,
and they are all blaming the ULSD diesel. They all have the same one-page
notice displayed. Says that conditioners such as Stanadyne can replace the
lubricity lost in the refiining, but that the aromatic chains (whatever the
heck those are!) are altered, no conditioner can fix this, and pumps may
leak as a result. One of the rebuilders says that o-rings & seals need to be
Viton (some sorta space-age material?). Rebuilder says he is getting about
one call per day about seemingly OK pumps starting to leak.

    I am quoted about $1000Cdn for parts/labour to rebuild my pump, and
about $1200 for an exchange (dealership is in line with the independents). I
have one on back-order from the dealer, it will take 3-4 weeks to deliver,
and there is a $100 core exchange charge. Dealer gives 12month/20Kkm
warranty, says new pumps are no longer available, cost about $5000 when they
were available.
