I have also just resorted to just pulling the jetta behind a vehicle to get it running. Saves on the battery and starter.

In my experience, these self purge fast enough that cracking,  cranking, tightening, cranking and starting uses more cranking time than just cranking and starting.  Cummings, Tractors and so on, it definitely speeds up  the process.

This will also work to get a worn out engine to start. I've done that sometimes when I just bought something non-running and I want to see if it will start at all. Being able to crank it over at a couple thousand rpm will get anything to run that is even marginal. I believe it is also easy on the engine, because oil is pumping the entire time that you're cranking, except for the very start. I ease out the clutch, and then just let it keep going. I've had to tow a car for a couple miles once when it was really worn out, but it still let me see what was going on with it to get a slight amount of history before tearing it apart. (This car was from an auction, as were most of my old A1 VWs, and I had no history on them.) Every time they would at least drive themselves back home. Only once was it so bad that it needed to be immediately rebuilt. One other time a car was pretty worn and using oil, but still not so bad that I couldn't put 10-20k on it first. These cars just keep going, and I'm really impressed with them.
