I am going to change my rear oil seal (the rope seal) but every shop that I know are scary to touch diesel engines and other that work with diesel engines want to charge more than the price of the used car. I found a guy in Richardson-TX that took two days to give me a quote price for that job and asked me $1500.00 just to replace that seal.
I will also need to change the bushings on both sub frame (the aluminum piece in a shape of L ) but I have the spare parts for this job and also the real seal.
If you know someone that can do it, please let me know.
Thanks.
Mine goes to Dave's Foreign Car Service, 400 South Elm, Denton 940 387 2886. Brian usually does the diesel work.
