[Vwdiesel] [Audi-VW-Diesels] '84 Quantum TD no start :(

[Andrew Buc]

Just a progress report, although there's not a lot of progress to  
report. Battery is a group 41, 5 years old, but tested out fine.

To answer a couple of folks' questions: It cranks w/o firing, and  
there's no white smoke from the exhaust, so I suspect no fuel. When I  
have daylight again tomorrow, I'll check out the fusible link, now  
that I have a pretty good idea of where it is. The PO gave me a  
spreadsheet of maintenance he'd done on the car, and apparently he  
replaced the glow plugs, but not the GPR, in the last year and a half.

To get any farther, I'll need to get a continuity tester or  
voltmeter, and that could happen tomorrow.

Looking under the hood also raises a question: To remove the glow  
plugs, would the IP have to come off? There sure isn't a lot of  
clearance in there! I'm tentatively betting that it isn't the glow  
plugs, but you never know. I'm not confident of my ability to R&R the  
IP, and if it comes to that, I'll most likely take the car to my  
regular garage. Thanks.
