[Vwdiesel] TDI Injector Life...

[brian gochnauer]

Note; that's for '03 and earlier engines. I have an '04 Jetta *Pumpe Duse
Injector ('04+) *
http://www.kermatdi.com/servlet/-strse-Pumpe-Duse-Injectors%28%2704-pls-%29/Categories
shows each injector is $350.00   OUCH!   Looking to rebuilding
them... maybe.?
