[Vwdiesel] OT: remote diagnosis

[Scott Kair]

    Thanks to all who replied to my query.
     The truck made it through the weekend storm, even overloaded with
material and plow. The miss seemed to improve the longer it was on the
road, so I'm beginning to suspect valve adjustment, which is about 14
years overdue.  Yesterday, during post-event clean-up and minor
repairs, I discussed the matter with one of the mechanics, who told me
that they're planning on incorporating valve adjustment into routine
servicing.  Better late than never, I suppose.
    Apparently there has been some squabbling between management
personnel over taking trucks out of service long enough to service
them properly...
    Thanks again,
    Scott Kair
