Re: sudden car death (deader than ever!)

[geordy <grostad@thresholdnetworks.com>]

I want to replace the t-belt anyways since I have absolutely no idea how 
long it has been on there.
BTW, It died when I hit a bump in the road, my scirocco did the same 
thing to my brother one
time, he hit a bump (or jump) in the road and threw the timing off and 
it ran shitty all the way home.
Mine just died, I wonder what's up...

I put the airbox/intake stuff back together and the car still wouldn't 
start.  I left all of the other
belts off however...  I wouldn't think that would be a problem.
