[Vwdiesel] Occasional hard starting ...

[Derek]

I'll try to reply to everyone at the same time.  Yes I do know the GP's are 
working, but I haven't tested them individually.  I have a voltmeter 
installed and shows a significant voltage drop when I am glowing.    They 
are also relatively new.  Since the hard starting is intermittant, I have 
ruled out compression and GP problems.  I'll check out ( aw to hell with it, 
I'll just replace the o-ring on that thermostatic valve )  I always use 
Power Service products, with every fill-up too.  Fuel filter is recent ( at 
the same tim as the GP's ) and unfortunately I have no clear line to check 
for bubbles or empying line ).  I could always install it again ( I still 
have the old line )  Doyt: I'll try your starting method next time it acts 
up.  Never replaced the GP relay, so you never know ...
