I got some info back from the vw mechanic. whats wrong with the car 300psi compression accross the board shot rack and pinion, tie rods, strut bearing it broke its timing belt when being backed out of the shop! so I am thinking of renegotiating my price. I would likely be looking at...

Jason, Thank you very much! I am originally from canada but I live in northern california while I attend school down here. so the caris american, and an ecodiesel with no line from the intake to the injection pump. I'll post pictures soon of all we are talking about. what kind of mileage do you...
