    Between tornado alerts Wednesday evening I went over and bought the ECO
Diesel I'd been offered.  It's too early to tell if it was a bargain, or
even a good buy, but it does seem to be a solid car and worth hanging on to.
I've missed a turbo ever since my Quantum got crunched, and the late A2
chassis does seem more solid and roomy.
    One of the rear door handles started working reluctantly with just a
squirt of PB Blaster, so I suspect that if I remove it and degoop it, that
problem will disappear.
    There seems to be some nickel and dime items, as well as the ding in the
door and the issue of VW's Faded Red finish, but the only really suspicious
item is the around the turbo housing.  (The turbo is actually visible and
might even be accessible.)  It may just be a loose oil line fitting; it will
be the weekend before I can work on it.
    Is anyone aware of a cheap source for the Bentley A2 Manual?  Retail is
$49.95, they're rare on Ebay, and I'm a typical tightwad Dieselhead.
    Thanks again,
    Scott Kair
