Their days are numbered. It behooves each of us who owns an FI car to keep it and fix what ail your car. Don't immediately trash it because everybody says FI sucks. It just isn' t true. VW engineers are smart guys and gals. Give them the benefit of the doubt. FI is great. Gives smooth power, great fuel economy and reliability. Like all things mechanical, it requires periodic maintenance and repairs. Dual carbs never stay in sync and require coninuous adjustment. They're dirty and this technology is over 100 years old.
