His 14 year old brother hooked up an electric gasoline pump and forced the fuel through the lines till diesel was squirting out all the little rubber return lines at the injectors (alarming them both) - started right up, ran with no problems. He bypassed the water separator with a hose like I said and then made sure all the return hoses were tight. On the firewall would have been better - we wouldn't have had this problem.

Just a spin-on filter with a water drain fitting on the bottom. I don't know where it's located on a Golf. On my Vanagon it was on the firewall. _______________________________________ For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net Christopher McCann, Squier Park, Kansas City, Missouri -2005 Blue Point Siamese, "Rose" -1987 300TD, 151K, "Rotkäppchen" -1985 300SD, 210K, "Wulf" -1976 240D, ?K, "AKP-Wagen" (Alternativen Kraftstoffs Prüfenlastwagen) -1972 Jacobsen 21" Turbo Vent -1971 Case 222 Hydrive, 12HP Kohler, 38" deck, Snowcaster, "One Banger" --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Bent rods don't come up as far. Also measure the roundness of the cylinders at top, middle, and bottom.
