[Vwdiesel] Drone/boom in the back

[The President]

Loren
No pumping neccessary.
I wonder if the regulator is at fault and applying too much power to the 
rear? I must find some gravel to test this I think its 2 to 1 power ratio. I 
assume the test gauges need to screw into the bleed nipples. I wonder if 
oxygen welding gauges would do?  I will take a drum off another car, 
although it may be the stub undersized.
