[Vwdiesel] Looking for Advice

[Libbybapa at wmconnect.com]

Try taking off accessory belt/s and seeing if clunk goes away.  Is the engine 
$500 or the whole car?  How much is money an issue for you?  Who do you know? 
 Have you called all the import auto parts places in your area? Have you 
called/befriended all of the import repair facilities in your area?  Do you make 
beer?  Do you give it away for fun?  Do you really need another volkswagen 
(that was my wife talking)?  What region are you in?  Back east I could get any 
number of decent motors for great prices (in 10 years the whole body is rusted 
out from salt- more cars go to the junkyard for rust than for accidents). Here 
in AZ where I now live, the bodies are nice, but you can't find a decent 
motor.  Anyway, good luck, I wonder if I was any help at all.  Andrew
