So I parked it for five months until I could afford the work. While at the shop they tell me I need new IP DV seals and washers and should do the glow plugs. Ok so all that's done, now they say they can't get fuel out of number 5 and 6 nozzles and that I need to have the IP rebuilt to the tune of $1800.00. Does this seem likely? Car has 141,000 miles on it, has had impeccable maintenance (with exception to past 6 mo.) and started and ran just fine (just shut off when it felt like it). Could the pump just go to hell in a hand basket while sitting in the driveway? If this is so, can anyone recommend a reliable Bosch service dealer with better price to rebuild or can anybody tell me if they know anything about Santa Rosa Diesel. Thanks!

I'd be very surprised if the pump is shot, they are pretty Robust pumps... Methinks they may have done something wrong with your delivery Valve job, or there's an extrordinary amount of air left in the lines which seems unlikely giving they have fuel (assumed) at 1-4. As for a new working pump if it comes to that, You may be able to find one on here, Post a topic in the Parts area. when I was looking for a 603 pump I had several offers within hours. I hope someone else can chime in on the newer engines, There could me more wrong then just your K40 Relay. some other electronics may be out with the K40 or some codes in the engine. I doubt it would affect the Pump like that but oddball things like that could happen
