I have started smelling some diesel leakage around the injection pump. Not quite sure where the leak is but it is pretty small, just enough to make things a little wet and smell but nothing running out.
I ran across a guy (with a good reputation) that had an 11mm pump off an automatic ALH which he says had a seal kit put in it a year ago.
I have to do my work myself even though I am not very experienced because there really isn’t a shop near me. When I needed a water pump and timing belt on a 2015 Jetta TDI I dropped it off at a shop and after 4 days they said they were afraid to do it. I ended up doing it myself in about 6 hours being very careful. Helped a lot that I found a video from a guy in UK that showed how to get the timing belt on without pulling the camshaft gear like in the video I bought from one of the vendors.
Anyway, so I am wondering if I should try to put this on as is or just send it for overhaul. I don’t want to mess with it twice as I am letting my daughter drive it.
I also realize this is going to be harder than the 2015.
What you guys think and who overhauls these? I can stand a few weeks.
Thanks,
Bill Harris
