<br>Ok so Im jammin' dowm the road after a 500 mile day<br>and I am 20 miles from my where Im going and my<br>truck sputters to a stop. <br><br>After some quick fiddiling around I came to the conclusion<br>that my fuel solenoid gave up the ghost. So out comes<br>the solenoid and out comes the pluger. All back together<br>minus the plunger and I am on my way....with a piece of rope tied to the manual cut out lever and hangin' out of the grille to shut 'er down. :<br><br>Well I price out the new solenoid. 230 at the dodge dealer, 140 at the cummins dealer, and 35 at the VW dealer (since the old VW diesels use the VE pump). Needless to say I think I<br>am going to at least try the VW part.<br><br>Just thought I'd share my little story to see if anyone has<br>any thoughts and pass along some info that might save a tow bill for some one. <br><br><br><br><br><br>

 

Thanks for the info. If you dont mind, please post the VW part number for the fuel solenoid when you get time. ;D

 

Yes please.... post the VW part number once you've confirmed it works on our trucks.<br><br>Bob.

 

<br>I will be sure to post the number. <br><br>Since I have not actually made a trip to the VW dealer I am not sure that the parts dude actually looked up the right thing. I am pretty optimistic though.<br><br>

 

What is a parts dude? I don't think we have them out here in New England? Is it a VW thing?<br><br> ;D
