[Vwdiesel] signs of Diesel merit

[Shalyn Shourds]

I gingerly nosed the TDI around the block tonight.  All seems good.  
I'll run it a couple more days around the neighborhood before I hit 
Dallas traffic with it.  I also just lack about 300 miles before I hit 
300,000 with the old Jetta TD so I need to drive it for another week.  
Anyone know if VW has any kind of program like MB and Volvo where you 
get the little badges for your grill if you cross certain mileage 
Ribicons?  Dad has those for his Volvos and MB's and I'm sort of 
jealous.  I have more miles than he does and no sticker. 

A real technical question:  When timing the TDI, I got it to where it 
says it's "advanced but within spec".  It's consistently within the 
lines, but not by much.  Any point to trying to get it closer or is good 
good enough?  It's really hard to not move it completely out of range.  
The adjustments are very tiny.
