$350?   Wow - I sell parts to the wrong area.  I'm happy to get $200
for one around my neck of the woods!   $350 buys you a TDI box around
here.   I actually just stripped a 98 Jetta AHU I paid $600 for
delivered to my house.   Sold the shell to the scrap man for $175,
anyone need an AHU Mk3 tranny?    She's getting all new gaskets and
being placed in my 83 Westy I procured from Scott.  I guess it comes
down to supply and demand.   I paid under $1000 for my last 3 AHU
swaps (complete with harness and ECU!)   Diesels are plentiful here in
Southern Ontario though.   I should start buying motors and crate them
up for you guys down south!

On a side note - I've fixed a few AAZ cranks.   Lots of work and time.
  $150 for the machining, $50 for gear and you still have to put it in
the motor.  I was brave and did one without pulling the motor...Don't
ask, I'd not recommend it.   For more than 20PSI I recommend drilling
and pinning it as well.   I broke 4 AAZ motors on 20psi before I
bought my first TDI 5 years ago.   I haven't looked back since.
