[Vwdiesel] Starter problems-vw rabbit diesel pickup

[Tad]

Well you (or preferably the mechanic) should be able to look up the part #
and determine if it's for a diesel.  The diesel, as you suspected, requires
a significantly stronger starter (due to higher compression).

If it started "strongly" when it did start, I'd suspect an electrical issue
(solenoid or key circuit, or maybe ground).  If it started 'weakly' (like it
had a dead battery), I'd guess it was the wrong starter... but that's just a
guess.
