I think I've usually just used Phil Wood grease, a specialty bicycle grease, but any light grease is probably fine. The TVSs die when the sliding contacts wear into the G-10 fiberglass PC board material. The major wear actually does not occur to the gold PC board plating. When the PC board is pitted deeply enough that the sliding contact can now touch 2 adjacent gold contacts, the FI will no longer work right when the throttle is in this position. Late replacement TVSs, came with what appears to be a kind of green teflon overlay on top of the fiberglass board and under the gold contacts. I suspect that these last "forever" but that's a bit hard to test. ;-) - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
