[Vwdiesel] Quantum Questions?

[William J Toensing]

This morning I talked to the last owner of my newly acquired '82 Quantum TD wagon. He said when his wife overheated it, the needle didn't peg, just ran warmer. He said he could never figure overheat when climbing mountain grades & just got tired of pouring money into the car. However, he now has sellers remorse as he offered to buy it back but I said no as he said the transmission just went out on his '82 diesel Vanagon. He said he never put any stop leak into it but did put in a new timing belt, brakes & more. After I bought the car he said he could have sold the car 10 times over & one person said he would have paid $2,000 for it. In checking eBay & Craig's List, it looks like Quantum diesels are mighty scarce.
