[Vwdiesel] Fw: Re: 1.6 liter diesel pump

[brian hoeft]

Hi Dave,

Im new to this list but not VAG or Giles. I purchased a pump from
Perf.Diesel (Giles) about a year ago, was very leased at the power output,
build(clean,tight,clean,etc.) and very professional nature of dealing with
him.
I've since made more purchases from him and am happy to support him. Mind
you, the cost is high -i spent around 900 fed.notes all said & done-
especially for my turbo pump, but well worth it in the long run.

Also, doing business in my local county is preferred, then state & so on,
but as ive come to terms with in dealing with my VW's, my ?nationalist
principles are somewhat compromised.

as for performance, reliability & mileage.. thats subjective and has a lot
to do with the use it gets.  Efficiency is very attainable with a Giles pump
while still being able to blind the guy behind you if you want. & from my
experience installing and handling various diesel pumps, reliability is to
be expected.
