[Vwdiesel] Injection Pump

[travis gottschalk]

My worry for $1000 is that it is too cheap for just the parts of it all. A timing belt kit just for parts is $310 if you get the water pump and all the idler pulleys and tensioner pulleys and bolts. The job is about a 4 hour job that most mechanics charge time for so $600 about for a cheap place to do the timing belt correctly. Then the injection pump while it won't require much more labor to remove rebuilding it by someone who doesn't know much about them doesn't make sense. Most rebuilds even on the new pumps are still about $700. Then you will likely need VAG COM to set the pump timing correctly afterwards. I think you are either getting a screaming deal on it or something is missing from the quote and you are getting screwed. Although he may not intensionally be screwing you if he doesn't know the car he may not be doing proper procedures of either job and you could be the one to pay for it down the road, maybe not right away but I always make sure it is don't right the first time. You don't want a water pump to fail on the timing belt because it wasn't replaced or your engine to drop down because the torque to yield bolts on the motor mounts were reused and you don't want the seals to go out if it was just a reseal job on the pump nor do you want the pump to need rebuilding even if the seals don't go back out if it wasn't totally rebuild before the next timing belt change. Also, don't know if you have the updated timing belt kit but they make a 100,000 mile kit for your car. http://idparts.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=449
