I have a 1979 Sailboat with a VW 50 HP Diesel. I need to replace the heat shields anyway due to leaks. Now is probably a good time to get the injectors serviced. Other than leaks, the motor runs excellent, starts easily, and idles smoothly. I already bought and received the heat shields (which also act as gaskets) from VW in Guaymas. I also have the VW service manual.
Any recommendations for either:
- a service shop in Guaymas where I take the 4 injectors?
or
- someone to remove, get the injectors serviced, and replace them for me?
The boat is on a mooring in BahÃa San Carlos.

| Manuel the mechanic, has worked on diesel motors in the Marinas for years. You can ask the locals around Marina San Carlos. He drives an older small pick up. I think it is an S-10. Most of the time he is working in Marina San Carlos on the side opposite the Office.

There is an excellent Lab on the way to Guaymas, they are in a small complex of buildings not to far past the turn off the Airport on the East side of the road. It is a U shaped complex of small office spaces. I have had my injectors services there many times over the years. That would be the best place to go, I will have to look for the business card I have from them.

As you go towards Guaymas on the highway make a u turn at the second stop light you come to. That is Collosio ave. Come back a bit and look on your right hand side of the road and you will see the Lab, it is in the courtyard of a u shaped old dilpidated builing complex. It is clearly marked Diesel Lab on the window.

We have a very good Mechanic at the shop now as well so if anyone needs a good mechanic feel free to contact me. After years of trying to teach sailing instructors how to be mechanics I decided to find a good mechanic and teach him how to sail!!! I have been very happy with the results.
