Ah, that's "arschlaufen",  GL!! (I have a sticker to cure that, BTW)

Could be a bunch of crud it the tank, take a look. Or the thing got run
dry, that's when Klaus started his assrunning. He's better, but it's been a
long chase figuring it out. (He needed TWO sets of injectors, the first
clogged after I did the fuel pump/distributor)

As I said, GL! You'll get it...And correct me if I'm wrong...but don't we
have TWO Jims on this list? And what type of Scirocco does the OTHER Jim
have? (Oh yeah, a black Wolfie...) You guys should be checking VINS, maybe
they were nest mates.
