[Vwdiesel] Mi Caddy

[cass]

how good is the battery?
i notice a big difference in cranking/starting with a 'good' battery and
a 'very good' battery.
    (very good batt. cables as well)
also
hows the compression?
my old 1.5 did the same thing this time last year...
    comp. was to low to go.(when cool) :o/
