If you want to put your Rabbit to sleep ------ use lots of
ether.
This is for the first owners and total beginners on diesels.
Forget about using starting spraycans , you are likely to
damage the VW engine. It is too lightly built to withstand
the " fuel knock" created by ether.
Tempting ??? yes indeed and I carry one at all time.
As you get more experience you get to a stage where you will
be able to use ether on a VW safely ------but by then you won't
be needing it.
What can you do in place of ether , to get going ???. LOTS.
Hagar.
PS: My advise is to NEVER use starting fluid on your VW.
