www.dieselvw.com has them for $10 + $4 shipping.

They are not that bad to change, remove the bracket for the throttle assembly. Remove the bracket that holds the ve or trim about 3/4" off and you can get to it pretty easy with a wrench.

I would hold off on installing that until you get bigger injectors. No need blowing another one, andhaving to spend the $15 again.

Just my opinion.

unless you want to shut off your truck. I have about all the fuel you can ask for from a stockish 12mm VE and have not had any issues with the shut down solinoid.

Your other option is to gut it and install a pull cable to shut down the truck.

You have a Non Intercooled truck, correct? Those stock 4X.012's are huge compared to our 6X.009's, which is why it is more of a problem with the intercooled trucks.

I have seen it happen on Non I/C trucks as well though.

It is definatly a problem with both and yes the I/c'ed more but not enough of a problem that it would cause me to drop $300-$700 on a set of injectors. Seen plenty of I/C and non-I/C that go for a good time w/o problems.

I thought I read somewhere that he was looking to get a new set of injectors, that is why I suggested waiting. I may have read wrong though.

I would personally continue to shut the truck off with the lever on the pump, until I got new injectors, or turned the pump down, but I guess I'm cheap. :D

The guy I got my running boards from said his solenoid lasted 3 days after he cranked his pump. :argh:

I would not mind using the lever to shut down the truck... Till the fist time it was raining is ass off. :D then you would have to put a pull cable in the cab.

I would not be surprised by a original half worn out soliniod giving up right after the pump was cranked.

When you take the pluner out take a good look at it and make sure there are no rough edges on it. Grind the tip flat and then put a smooth radius on the edge. The lip on the stock tip hangs out in the fuel passage and gets torn up during high fuel flow.
