[Vwdiesel] Injection pump progress

Get some Rainbow brand sandals.  They are guaranteed for life, if the strap pulls out you get a new pair.

You have to watch the torque on those flip flops. Too much, and it leads to
failure, as you found out.
That's why I stick to snow boots, besides, the flip flop straps get caught
on the footrests of my snowmobile on the jumps and are a distraction.
Good to hear of your successful diesel adventures.
Clatter on.

Well, I decided to go for it and got the seal kit for my '00 TDI.  I watched
the excellent series of videos on YouTube
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VR44StvcXms), took copious notes, bought
everything ahead of time, and spent the afternoon.  Everything went well,
and I just got back from washing the engine again.  Hopefully, no more
Diesel shows up.  There are a couple of seals that you can't get to with the
pump on the car.  I'm hoping it's not one of them.  I got the two on top,
the quantity adjuster and its cover, as well as the big one between the pump
head and the pump body.  I "saved" $400, but had to spend almost $150,
mostly on tools.  I do feel a little better about doing the job myself.  I
dread taking my cars to someone else.

As far as I can tell, the only thing bad thing is the kind of thing that
happens working here outside in December.  I broke a strap on my flip flop.
