Subject:Diesel "stumbling"
From:Lund
Date:Tue, 3 Dec 1996 01:28:51 -0800 (PST)

On my 86 Vanagon diesel(ok its really a Jetta) which I just bought I noticed
recently that it "stumbles"(misses) under acceleration.  Any thoughts from
you diesel folks out there?
P.S.  Thermostat seems to be stuck open, little heat and the needle doesn't
move off cold ( I know the guage does work after taking the car over the
mountains).

Best,

Bill Lund
