[Vwdiesel] More Quantum Questions?

[mark shepherd]

The only wrench for turning engine over I use  is 1/2" wratchet with 
19mm/3/4" socket. Power steering version is do-able IIRC. I do have one QTD 
with PS but I havent looked under the hood for years, but I'm sure A 
correctly lengthed socket will do it!!
