I have the 79, 80, 81 Rabbit /Jetta /Pickup repair manual and the Dasher
repair manual--both cover the 1500cc diesel (I had the 1981 1584cc
Dasher/Passat Diesel myself). Anything you would like Xeroxed out of it,
let me know. Will mail.

You know why the reason why some nights you don't have a dream?
When there's just blackness? And total silence?
Well, this is the reason:
It's because on that night you are in somebody else's dream.
And the reason you can't be in your own dream because
you're already busy in somebody else's dream.
-Laurie Anderson, Stories from the Nerve
Bible (1993)
