[Vwdiesel] ALH injection pump

[Tom Krummell]

Sorry, Matt, I intended to send this to the group...
------------------------------


Good morning, all,
I'm following this closely because my '03 Jetta (139,000 miles) has seepage
problems at the pump.  Are the replacement seals something the dealer would
carry, or should one be looking for the local Bosch folks?  Are the seals
in kit form or does each have to be identified and individually purchased?
Also, is this something a reasonably experienced do-it-yourselfer can do?
