2002 VW Golf Tdi 01M Automatic 172K
Hello, My issue is a leak at the Torque converter, it's getting worst and worst and needs to be addressed.........
A) I've located a 2002 01M with 160K the guy say, it ran great, his engine broke a timing belt and he lost his engine, so he's parting out the car....So this is an option, but maybe it's a can of worms....... would my TMC work, or do I need the one from this transmission?........or just reprogrammed?
B) On eBay I can get a rebuilt front pump and all the seals for about $150 (I'm leaning in this direction)
Either way I'll be paying a mechanic to do the work...... to R&R the trans he wants $500 - $600
I just had him changed the valve body in my 01M and if runs great, just has this leak... I dough just a front pump seal will fit it......I think the front pump bushing is bad, and in looking at rebuilding the front pump, I think I'm better off, just buying a rebuilt pump...... to much labor if it's not right......
Thanks for any suggesting in advance.........johnO
