[Vwdiesel] Been a while

Tue Dec 18 20:37:48 PST 2018

I bought the A3 from a used car lot, but they picked it up from the local
Audi dealer.  Someone traded it oddly without taking a buyback.   Mileage
was over 200K so Audi wasn't interested in putting it on their lot.  After
the $2600 cheque from Audi it will become a pretty good deal for us.  Plus
the extended emissions warranty will cover the DPF, cat, sensors, turbo etc
for awhile after the fix unless I decide to "fix" the fix if I can't
tolerate it.

Working on the Vanagon.  I have most of the parts, just need time to get it
done now!
