Diesel, bleeding a

[Per Lindgren]

If your diesel has a Bosch system, then it is the same as a Rabbit or GOlf. It
is not necessary to bleed these systems, you just crank or tow the vehicle
until it starts. You can of course try to prime the system, but bleeding is
unnecessary on the Bosch system.

If your car has the CAV system, then there's another case. Let me know, and
I'll look it up in the Golf A1 Haynes manual.

Btw, why dont you join one of the diesel lists? audi-vw-diesels at egroups.com is
a nice list with quiet traffic. 10-20 posts a day when discussion is heated, it
is nothing compared to quattro at audifans :-)
