[Vwdiesel] Parts compatibility?

[Dave Cook]

B careful with not running the timing belt cover.  I know a few who do that here and there but I think most will argue that the big risk is that somethng gets in there (rock, stick, nut, etc) and breaking the belt.
I know I wouldn't drive my VW diesel without a timing belt cover for any lenth of time beyond diagnostics.

I really don't mind not having the timing belt cover, mine was missing with
the injection pump and lines removed. I kinda think it looks better without
and easier to inspect things too. With some help from my neighbors machine
shop I can fab up intake and exhaust from the manifolds out.
