Hi,


If when you turn the key and there is just a click or no sound at all, then
Gene Berg .com has a hard start kit for VW's. There should be an article
about it on their web site.


If the engine turns over but doesn't start, Bob Donalds at Boston engine
.com posted an article on this list a few weeks ago detailing his problems
with hot starts. Oddly enough he found out the VW hydraulic lifters don't
always work like they should, they sometimes hold a valve open.  His
solution was to run the lifters like solid lifters, i.e. .006 clearance
cold. Please see Bob Donald's post for all the information.




Bye,
Mark Ingalls
85 GL
75 Beetle
