Get a mity vac and chase the leak yourself. Sounds like $200 can go even higher.

It's a vacuum problem all right but your time and money is better spent on a Mity Vac and DIY diagnosis. Can you turn off the engine by putting a vacuum hose on the shut off valve and sucking on it?

How long should a normal shut down be?
My 350SD shuts down fine, but it does spin down for 1-2 seconds - sometimes slightly longer - after I turn off the key. Is that abnormal? It's definitely longer than our TDi - it shuts down immediately when the key is turned off. Thanks!
