[Vwdiesel] Still trying to resurrect 1980 vw rabbit diesel

[ken tolbert]

I am still trying to start the vehicle...

Run into a couple of situations:

a) intermediate pulley has a 2 1/4" piece broken off on the inside. Going to 
postpone change out until status of engine is resolved.

b) received new style tensioner (uses wrench with holes in hub) Going to 
have to use old style,
(with the hex head adjuster) the new style does not line up correctly and 
will not turn when the nut is tightened. (have to loosen engine mount bolt 
and jack up engine to remove/install)

c) Having the ^%$#@#$% time trying to locate TDC, even with cam loosened. So 
far, we in north texas are in our "hot weather mode"(100+), last 6-7days, no 
friends want to come out and help. Going to kidnap someone soon.

d) Drained coolant, able to get about half in aux tank, will try to put 
remainder in radiator upper
hose with funnel.

Any suggestions or tips?
Thanks.
ken
