Be warned, you cannot sell your car to anyone who will register it in the 13 county area without a valid emissions inspection. I just found that out recently when doing research regarding my son's truck. It's a bummer, but I thought you might want to know.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Thank you all. Well, it looks like I would have to spend over $805 in emissions repairs to get a waiver. Replacing just the pump (sealed) and the valves
will still put me over the limit of what I had budgeted for this mostly project vehicle. I have another car I can use. I picked up the VW for very little money, it was supposed to be something me and my friends could tinker with and use for road trips. Shedding
weight, in the form of a large, heavy pump and associated gear, is something I felt would make a nice improvement. Spending money to fix a problem that doesn't improve engine performance or increase the capability of the car in any meaningful way goes against
my principles--especially, when it'll take funds away from my "fun" project. I now have no choice but to get rid of a solid vehicle that is otherwise perfect for our project. I won't get another car that has been engineered this way. If you can't beat 'em
and you don't want to join 'em, go in a different direction. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" color="black" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">If you show that you have spent over a certain amount of money to fix a<br>
problem, you can get a waiver for that year only. The next year you'll<br>
have to spend the same amount in order to get a waiver again.<br>
<br>
Modifying the programming of the ECC is *not* a task that you want to<br>
take on yourself. If you can show that the removal of the system does<br>
not affect the compliance with emissions standards for that model year,<br>
you might be able to get away with modifying it, but you'll have to get<br>
to know the programming of your ECC quite intimately and if any updates<br>
to the firmware become available that get pushed to your computer while<br>
it is in the shop, you'll have to patch those updates as well.<br>
<br>
Personally, I wouldn't even attempt it.<br>
