[Vwdiesel] Car won't Start

[mikitka]

Rope/chain is the way to go. Or a nice long hill. It is amazing how easy
these diesels start by just push starting, that is if there isn't any other
issue to deal with.

  Forgot you'd mentioned this.  You might be really close to 
starting then.  Check glow plugs and keep the starter 
cranking after it starts to catch.  See if keeping the 
momentum going with the starter, is enough to get it 
started.  There's always a rope/chain and towing it to 
start it...
