I have to agree with James on this one. The T3 FI brain will NOT be affected by the Y2K bug. None of the engine control modules on even very modern cars will be affected. Your car and our T3s do NOT know what date it is. The date on your radio might get confused (not likely though) but that is about it. There is noone at the assembly line that sets the car's computer to the current date when it is built. That would take way too long (ever tried setting the date on VCR/watch/etc) and slow the line down. :^) Seriously, our T3 certainly do not know or care what date it is and neither does your Ford, GM or Chrysler car. There are people out in the world that will make your car Y2K compliant for a fee. They are snake oil salesman. Don't waste your money.

Speaking of snake oil, I caught an infommercial last night when I was up way too late for an engine oil additive called Prolong. They sure made it look good. Any practical experience with this one. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much? Digest! mailto:type3-d-request@vwtype3.org Subj=subscribe
