[Vwdiesel] Age, Diesel History and BONUS TDI Tragedy

[Kurt Nolte]

I'm given to understand that the no-cold-start after glow plug recall 
for BEW engines is VW's, um, screw-up. Being polite, since they seem to 
have royally screwed those engines up.

But that just means that the Dealership isn't necessarily to blame, just 
as the chain drive failures aren't completely able to be blamed on 
dealership incompetence. If your gear-drive fails after the dealership 
installs it, yeah, sure, that's probably their fault. But when the 
incompetence comes from above...
