If anything, can someone tell me where I might get some response to this thread? There is a TON of stuff on this topic, but the threads all seem old and "worn out". I'm hoping someone might have a good suggestion for me, but I don't know where I should be posting this topic. I have a hunch everyone is quite weary of it! Also, I want to add a few clear pics of my situation- how do you add pics to a thread??? I see no insert, and copy/paste does not work.
Catastrophic failure of HPFP on 2013 Sportwagen, scheduled to drive 20 miles to dealer for buyback Jan 16, 3 days from now. But now dead, as many others have experienced before, facing an ungodly repair bill. But I just want to get it there on it's own power for the buyback. Tons of metal particles in filter and HPFP, as my pics would show if I could figure out how to add them.
Main question: I don't want to pay $10K just to fix it and drive it 20 miles, and have them drive it around the block. I could get a rebuilt pump for $500 and replace the filter, but would that even make it there with all that metal everywhere? I would do that if I knew it would survive 20 miles! Anyone suggest what minimum I might do to just get it there?
