car problems with occasionally not starting &/or fuel line issues. Local mechanic said it is air in the lines and it happens periodically and then usually the high gear or turbo (I guess) goes out and then ensuing high revs — have to stay below 60 mph or car would redline. This mechanic was able to alleviate these issues, but it eventually happens again. Then the re primes the fuel line and a month or so later the cycle repeats.
I went to the suggested tdi mechanics doc. I’m in Los Angeles and it’s very slim on mechanics. Most listed are not even around. I found new mcechanic though and he said I need a new fuel pump parts and labor about 2k. The only other option is to bring it to my old mechanic who has relocated out of the area but that does do rebuilds of the fuel pump. Wonder if this will address the turbo going out however. Please and any feedback would be great? Love this car but it’s costed me lots of time and money last couple years.
By the way, I found one cheaper pump online but it has a big cog on one and and it says it fits my car but doesn’t look like it and it’s an alh?
