[Vwdiesel] Timming loaner kit

[Terry Briggs]

I have a guy around here who is the volvo authority who only deals in 
used bricks.. I've bought a 240 from him in the past and thats all he 
drives are early bricks. I asked him about the diesel brick and he 
tells me they are a very rare car, I guess they were only imported a 
couple years, but he said they are a very dependable engine, he didn't 
mention if they were a vw truck engine though
