When my Jetta Diesel IP gave up the ghost, most likely due to the new fuel make-up, I had it rebuilt through Jack at http://www.vwdieselparts.com. To have it done locally would have been around 900 bucks, through Jack it much, much more reasonable.... Turn around was about a week. There is also a forum through that same site were listees have repaired IP's on their own...
