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...

I had sold my diesel pickup by then or I would have saved the info.? You might check the archives.? If the service is still in business, it would significantly lower the price of owning a diesel.?
