I missed it by 6 months, I feel your pain. I ended up doing it myself, over the winter on the ground. It wasn't fun.

The thought of having to do it again in 30k more miles makes me want to dump the car. but I'm not sure what I would replace it with, ha.

Also how big of a job is to DIY?
Ovalbore on youtube has a video how to. If you have a lift, even a low lift one, it's 10X easier.


Not sure if anyone knows, but is there an aftermarket pump that is better than the OEM one? I know you can get a Pierberg pump, VDO, and I thought a Mahle pump.
