We just had a new diesel engine installed in our Clark fork lift...the mechanic said: dont let it idle for long periods of time, keep the RPM's down below 1500K. and I forget for how long we are supposed to do this. Id like to find a wrecked TDI Jetta myself, i wonder how much say a 40K mile TDI engine goes for? PHil Stanhope 84' Westy w/Tiico
