I am looking for at least two of these nozzles, preferable NOS. They fit the AFB v6 2.5 TDI injectors. The injector shop is having trouble getting two of them to flow correctly. A couple of extra would be good to have. Thanks,
Update. The car just turned 30k miles on the conversion. The exhaust on this car has always been a bit stinky. Last week I was driving when I heard a loud pop. The car then ran really rough with a loud acoustic thumping sound. You could really hear it from the intake area with the...
Further exhaust cleanup
To improve the exhaust further I removed the center muffler (which weighs some 25 lbs) and replaced it with an aftermarket DPF. This filter does not require the computer generated regeneration, but does it passively when hot enough and run long enough at higher rpms -...

Update - Received the rebuilt injection pump from Diesel Bob in the UK. Two hours later the beast was installed. Engine runs much better and actually revs up like it should. DTC codes have gone. Still smokes too much. Waiting on some new intercoolers (one looks like it is leaking oil, so...
k-harley - The trickiest part is getting the engine (block & heads). Most everything else is available new from a few European sources and used on eBay.de or eBay.co.uk. I suspect most US based TDI shops should be able to figure out this engine. However, with all the new parts it is not...
