Hi All,
This continues the ongoing saga of the failing cold pressure regulator on the 242 turbo that I've been trying to sell. Turns out just adjusting the thing will not solve its cold start problem and the regulator needs to be replaced. My mechanic has quoted my $300 for the part. Are there any other resources where I might be able to get one for cheaper?

I'm trying to decide if I should have it fixed - or knock the price down on the car and let the next person do the work.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Ragna
