I have changed fuel injection pumps several times on these old benzes but it has never been the problem. YOu have to work at it to make one go bad.
I would ask them how they know its a bad injection pump and ask them to put in writing that if they put in a new pump and it still won't run that they won't charge you for the labor and will reimburse you for the new pump.
