[Vwdiesel] '84 Quantum TD no start :(

[Kurt Nolte]

You start by sending it down to me and moving on to another car. :D

No, I kid. Loren's got the good advice going: Check for air, fuel, glow. 
Just like checking a gasser, but far, far fewer electrical connections, 
which is always good.

If you have good cranking speed, fuel, and you have glow, how's your 
compression?
