    If the seals are good in the IP... Uhhh replace the check valve (or get it working) on the return line on the injection pump. There's your problem! If the check valve on the output of the injection is clear you will always prime the pump in under two minutes.

    What did you do to your car today?

    2003 Wagon I had the VW rough rider spacers for years. For putting them on Bilsten HDs I had to add spacers on the threaded part of the shaft to make up the gap so the strut bearing would not get crushed. The front is using VR6 springs which has a few pounds of extra lift. The same shaft...
