Vehicle Detail
Up for bid is A 1984 VW Rabbit Diesel, with 156.253 miles on odometer. I purchased this little jewel about 5 years ago from A older gentleman out of North Carolina, After driving it for a year or two, I let my son have it, he works for A company that uses, cotton seed oil in there products, so he started running it mixed with diesel fuel, and was consistently getting around 45 miles to the gallon, for around one dollar per gallon. But then alas, the injector pump went out, My bright idea. Ill purchasing A used replacement pump from eBay, And I will install it my self save A couple hundred bucks, (A piece of cake. Right? ) Wrong, Wrong, Wrong. Well after about two weeks, of wanting to cuss, and pull what hair I have left, out by the roots, I have had it, I am through. I have done everything the book says to do. Bled the injectors, and yes fuel is coming out of them. Lined up the timing marks on the injector pump and crank pulley. Number one piston at top, and still she wont run. Oh I forgot to mention we let the little car sit in the barn about A year before installing the other pump. I am thinking we are A tooth or two off on the timing, I had A diesel mechanic tell me just yesterday, if you are off on the timing, It will not run. Also the brake master cylinder needs bleeding. When the injector pump went out, there was nothing major wrong with the little car. The transmission shifted perfect, and the engine ran smooth.It has A new battery. It does have A few dings and scratches, and A rust spot on the passenger door, just surface rust, nothing major. It has air conditioning, That may need servicing. If you have questions Please ask. Thanks. Buyer is responsible for making shipping arrangements.On Aug-29-12 at 06:41:33 PDT, seller added the following information: THE ENGINE HAS A NEW TIMING BELT, NEW BATTERY. AND IS TURNING OVER FREELY, WITH MY LIMITED EXPERIENCE I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET IT TO START. THEY TELL ME I NEED THE MM. GAUGE THAT MOUNTS IN THE BACK OF THE PUMP... AND THE KNOW HOW TO READ IT, TO GET THE TIMING SET RIGHT.
