I am really impressed with the VW diesel engine. Pre-glow is single-digit

clutch works and how smooth the shifting is.

Mech (= brother-in-law) brought home a new motorcycle (2006 Kawasaki Nomad)
Wednesday night and I threatened him with a flogging if he worked on my car
during our rare Iowa streak of temps in the 50s.
VW is up on jack stands in mech's garage, w/ a half-shaft and a starter
removed.
Hope you're planning on checking the condition of the timing belt,
which I'd replace along with the tensioner as a preemptive insurance
measure. I'd also check the g-plugs and H2O pump while yer at it.

based how the one time the car started the one time it did so far.
