If the problem is gone for sure, then you need to replace the TVS. This is a LITTLE strange, because I've only seen this problem on '72s & '73s up to now. They used a slightly different TVS, so I had assumed that the '71 TVS was enough different that it didn't have the same weakness. It's a relatively expensive part so I would drive it for a week or so just to make sure that wishful thinking was not clouding my judgment. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
