[Vwdiesel] Relocating battery

[Andrew .Libby]

The longer the battery cable run, the more significant the drop in cranking
speed.  This becomes quite noticeable in diesels that require fast cranking
in order to produce the necessary heat to start is cold weather.  If you
move the main cranking battery to the trunk (on your 84 Quantum TD???) then
you should use the largest cables possible and also install a second battery
to run in parallel just to have a similar cranking speed.
