Guest diesel_jim Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 A friend of mine in Canada has a 300tdi and the pump is doing the self destruct thing with the thin shards of metal jamming up the fuel cut off solenoid. there are no Bosch dealers near him, so he's thinking ov sending it over here to be mended. anyone got any reputable sercive outlets that can overhaul the pumps? or are the user friendly in the DIY sort of thing?

Kevin Cheers! i'll let him (my mate) know. it looks to cost about $1200 canadian to get his old pump sorted. assuming that the exchange rate from $can to £UK is similar to the US, thats about £600. i tried to talk him into sending it to his local bosch place but he thought it would be cheaper to send to here... if the work comes to ~£400 like Ralph says, then thats only leaving £100 each way for postage (on a heavy pump... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
