Hello! I have a 1984 Rabbit Diesel that I cant seem to get started. When I first bought the vehicle I replaced the glowplugs and the glowplug fuse and she ran like a top. However one morning I was unable to get it started. I hooked up my booster starter and still was unable to start it. I replaced the glowplug relay but this didnt help. While I was trying to start it again, a very loud "POP" occured and that was the end of it. Nothing after that. I checked the glowplug fuse and the relay and both checked out fine. I check some links in the battery but they also seem ok. Someone suggested that it might be the starter, that I overloaded it when I was trying to start it. Any suggestions? If you could, please reply to my home email at jhaffly@netstorm.net

Thanks,

Jim Haffly
