[Vwdiesel] No Start update

[Val Christian]

1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon.  No need for a wet test.  Spin the engine at 
300 RPM or so, or you'll read too low.  Good starter, good battery.

If your readings are correctly done, and are that low, you won't
get any start, and something is really wrong.  A wet compression will
be of no help.
