That would work *if* it had a gas engine.  With the Diesel, you're
probably not going to find anything there except hoses.

How full is the fuel tank? 1/4 or less, just pour in as much fresh fuel
as you can.  Starting may be a problem.  Were it I, (and I'm no expert)
I'd replace the fuel filter just to get rid of the algae that's probably
growing in it. DO NOT use ether as a starting aid!  WD-40 is a much
better alternative.  Just spray into the intake while a helper cranks
the engine.  Be aware though that too much will cause a runaway.

You migh also consider joining one or both of the Diesel specific
groups. <vwdiesel@vwfans.com> or <Audi-VW-Diesels@yahoogroups.com>
