[Vwdiesel] More Quantum Questions?

[Gary Bangs]

Infrared Temperature probe!  That's awesome.
Point it at:
1) Where the top where coolant enters top tank,
2) The other side of the radiator, the entire length of the tank. Should 
read the same,
3) Where the coolant exits,
4) Along this entire side tank. There should be a distinct point of 
temperature change from top to bottom. This will be where the divider 
will be.

Also, for cleaning injectors,
I have had the best service from using "Lubro Moly Diesel Purge"
I usually pour it into a glass jar, and run it directly into the pump, 
and directly from the pump into the jar (separate hoses) Let it idle, 
occasionally gunning it a few times. It will take about 20 minutes to 
run the entire can.

That is one of the reasons I like this discussion group so well. I have checked the radiator with a laser thermometer which points a laser beam at any part of where ever you want to measure temperature. What would you recommend for cleaning the injectors? Haven't had time to check out the other suggestions yet but intend to do so. I have some "Amsoil Diesel fuel Modifier" which I plan to add. Have also heard automatic transmission fluid is good for this.

I felt I got a good deal on my Quantum diesel for $1,000 & then I see an '86 Quantum (Passet) wagon selling in eBay in the UK for 185 Pounds or aprox. $370 that looks nicer than mine, although it probably had more rust (mine has none)& had about double the miles as mine has almost 118,000 miles.
