[Vwdiesel] incredible Diesel journeys

[mikitka]

I can add being stranded once in a vw diesel, due to a thrown rod out the
front of the motor. Just one of those rare instances I guess.

That journey is one to keep for the grand kids.

Only time I can remember a VW diesel leaving us stranded on the side of the
road was a complete cv joint failure on an '82 Rabbit.  Had a few slow trips
home as the fuel gelled, had to change out a water pump belt on the side of
the road a few times in my vanagon already, had a few no-starts in the first
place, but (knock "hard" on wood) that cv joint is the only time we had to
pull one home.
