that's actually not such a bad idea. someone in the mid west (no, Ohio/Illinois don't count) has to learn how to do these things so the rest of the DCOTC guys can learn.Losha said:If you decide to change your IP, then I can help you with that and we could use your old one for learning experience.
a new IP is $1400 w/ $300 core, i'm sure we could pull mine off... replace all the seals just so we can learn how, then send it in for the core charge. we'd probably have to put it back on my car to make sure we had all the seals right... AFAICT, the hardest part is getting the QA aligned back exactly on top of the pump.
still, we're all gonna need to do this in the next few years, so we've got to learn some time. and i'll probably buy another A4 next year, so i can have my work TDI, and my Sunday TDI. and i'm sure that one will need a new IP as well.
sorry i missed the last area GTG, but there'll be another one coming up with my brother and my friend coming to town over the school winter break.
