[Vwdiesel] More Quantum Questions?

[William J Toensing]

New glow plugs checked & installed. Quantum still does not start any better than before, but with new fresh battery, it turns over rapidly & eventually does start. Once it catches, it starts right off & runs nicely. It acts like it is not getting fuel.  Makes no difference if I start it right after stopping or wait a while, engine hot or cold. I did replace the return hoses, except for one & plan to replace that one too but I still think the problem is elsewhere, probably with the IP. I didn't replace the "heat shield" yet but used the old ones but new ones are on order at our local Grass Valley foreign car parts house. I notice the Quantum does NOT smoke when I "POUR THE COAL" to it although it did smoke a bit earlier as I recall.
