I would be interested in learning to DIY at some point...

However, I am about to have a new engine put into my TDI (the lifter broke, which caused the head to crack). I was hoping to find somewhere I could bring it for some third party verification that everything looks all right after the replacement.

I was looking for a non-dealer with some experience in TDIs. I would appreciate any recommendations...

Thanks!

Chris Hill (Kraftwerke) is now in Walpole. Shop phone is 508 921 3061. Depending on where you are, Keith Harley (KMH Motors) is in Lowell, Bob Mann (Dr. Volks) is in Pembroke, and Chris Zanis (Schnell Snail) is in Wareham. All good guys. In Boston we're blessed with a bunch of really good TDI gurus.

I would have them look at it before the replacement and see if they agree it needs replacing instead of just fixing it. If it does need replacing I would have them do the work. Unless you have some experienced tdi person you trust, which it sounds like you don't.
