Here's a question for all of you.  This happens only when the temperature is a
bit on the cool side.  And it has been getting cooler here in Minnesota, still
not down to the average, but cooler any way.  When it is 30 or lower and I try
to start in the morning, or the afternoon after the Syncro has been sitting
all day, the first time I hit the starter all that turns is the starter.  Most
of the time the second time starts, sometimes the third, but rarely.  This
starter went out on me this summer and I had it rebuilt at a shop over in
Savage, MN.

Any ideas?  I know of someone else here with a diesel Rabbit that is having
the same thing.  I'm not looking forward the having to try four or five times
when it really gets cold, -20 or so, if we do this year, or trying to work on
it in the parking lot in about a foot of snow, if we ever get any.
