[Vwdiesel] injector pump shutoff solenoid wiring

[James Hansen]

Oh, and one more thing Kneale.
Considering the corrosion you have under the hood, check the rubber 
wrapped metal tiedown dooflickus that holds the turbo oil feed pipe. 
Once the clamp rusts off, the line is free to vibrate, and it will 
fatigue at the turbo connection, cracking off, potentially spraying the 
turbo with oil and causing a good blaze. If nothing else goes wrong,you 
run out of oil at the very least.  I made it up to the point where the 
oil runs out but didn't get the barbecue thankfully.  The clamp is on 
the back of the motor, bolted into the intake manifold.
