Unfortunately its not just a bolt on: You need a bunch of special tools: injector sockets, crank and cam locks and then you got to flash the PCM for some reason. That 6K is no joke. Too bad, those old diesel rabbits ran forever, usually rusted around the working motors. Add $800 for core charges on that kit. What if they repossesed it? kill your credit but.....?
Good idea. I’m in the house I plan on being in for awhile so I’d let them take it and my good credit to suffer a bit. I wonder if my USAA insurance would consider it totaled since the cost to fix is half the value of the car?
