[Vwdiesel] stick stuck in cylinder

[Andrew .Libby]

Being a TDI, one of the little bendy grabbers might fit down through the
injector hole.  When you bring it to TDC does the stick end up in front of
the injector hole?  You could pinch it in place and crunch it with needle
nose pliers.  I like the idea of burning it too.
