Sounds like a good proposal, only that I wouldn't be wild about driving around with the sensor inside the car waiting for the moment to occur again.

Removing the ecu is not the problem, its opening it to get to the wires they're talking about testing. -Mike -- Mike Wodkowski 72 FI SQBK Brooklyn wodkowski@mac.com ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
