Hope someone can help:
I have a 2005 Audi All-Road, while in Switzerland the car broke down, the Audi garage plugged in and says the car requires a new injector pump and quoted me 5000 CHF! (3,700 GBP) to fix the problem. I towed it out of the garage and into the car park next door, changed the glow plugs and used easy start to try to at least get it running again, but no luck.
Is it possible to change an injector pump in a car park with basic mechanical knowledge or is it a proper garage job?
or is there a way to get the car running and back to the UK at least?
At the moment, annoyingly, the cheapest option is to fly back to Scotland, hire a trailer and tow it back to the UK and get it into a garage that doesn't charge swiss prices and repair it with a refurb part.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
