Since so many posts have appeared on leaky injector pumps, Harvieux over at Wild Rose has decided to help out fellow TDI club members with doing an R&R of upper and lower seals on their Bosch VE4 pumps.
For $120 US, he will change out the upper and lower QA seals on your pump and VAG-COM it into spec. The price of this service is $120 and include parts and labor. This will fix the leaky pump problem 90 to 95% of the time.
Please be aware that if you have had a leaky injector pump for some time, diesel fuel may have leaked on your waterpump/cooling hoses and that they may be in need of replacement also.
Harvieux can be reached at 1 310 721-4867 in Fullerton, CA.
Seriously, after visiting his shop and seeing so many clean looking TDI's, I kind of feel like my '96 Passat was dragging down the values of the other prime real estate on his lot.
This guy is a specialist, mostly TDI's is all he wrenches on, I think he could work on them blindfolded and still do a good job.
Seriously, with Low Sulfer Diesel coming our way in 2006-7 here in CA, I am certain you will need a new set of seals. Much cheaper to do it up front than wait for it to go bad, wreck a bunch of radiator hoses due to diesel fuel leak in the process and then have to pay to fix THAT problem also.
I didn't have that option, I just bought my B4 Passat and the previous owner did the damage to my hoses.
