You might have to replace the AAR with the MT version, but I've heard that some of the AT cases didn't have the hole there that the MT version required. I've never seen that, but I've taken off very few AT AARs. In the worst case, you would just use the AT AAR and wire it up. The wire for it is present, even though it would have been cut short on an MT car. > I'd be very tempted, but I'm on the other coast...road trip anyone? Tempting yes, but it's gonna go for a lot of money, or not go at all. > If it actually is a new engine-it has got to be the only one, right? Who knows? It sure looks new to me, but I don't have Russ's dealership experience. Even if it WAS a complete new engine, I never would have expected to see it come with a new FI wiring harness. Was this a standard part of a VW factory rebuild, Russ? Where was the VW rebuild facility? ISTR hearing that it was somewhere in Canada for the North American market. Too bad there is no return address visible on that crate. Are there more of these out there? Probably.... ;-) -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
