[Vwdiesel] More Quantum Questions

[Will Taygan]

You can pound out those washers, but at a buck a piece I replace them
everytime.  The center part crushes a little and gives you a good seal
from the head to the injector (in addition to protecting the injector
from heat.)

So no, not reusable.

The Quantum is beginning to feel like a money pit but feel the only un necessary money I spent was $150 for another used IP as I could have had  the existing pump re sealed or rebuilt instead, which I do plan to have  rebuilt for use on one of my other VWs.
