[Vwdiesel] More Quantum Questions?

Make sure the connections to the Battery and Starter are clean and tight.
Prime the Fuel Pump by putting a clear line on the return outlet and suck on
it till you see Fuel, reconnect the Return Line and Crank it till it starts,
if the Starter Burns up doing that, you needed a new starter anyway, just a
matter of time.

  It won't pop and it won't start almost starting until it's almost ready to
run.  Constantly disconnecting the lines and taking the center plug out
keeps setting you back on how much you have to crank the car to start it.
It usually takes a minimum of 2 minutes of cranking.  A little less when the
pump is filled with fuel.  

  Waiting to let the starter "cool" isn't a bad idea at all, however if you
actually go out and put your hand on it you might find it's not that hot. I
did on my last head gasket and found it was nearly room temp after 30
seconds of cranking.  I said screw it and cranked until it started.  Starter
was still nothing close to warm.  Every time you wait to crank again it also
lets fuel drain back and adds some to the cranking time needed for a start.

  No offense intended but that's kind of like asking if a vented speaker
enclosure in the car, would make the A/C work better.  :-)
  It's totally unrelated.  It's simply a vent under the boost fuel
compensating diaphragm.  It would have no effect on anything whatsoever
until the pump sees boost pressure.  Even then it's not going to affect
things adversely.
