<x-charset iso-8859-1>Oh Boy Oh Boy! The FI is a far superior system to the carbs and unless butchered will be more reliable than carbs. Ill send you the FI FAQ, and BTW, the AFC used on the Beetles (also known as L jet) is a very bullet proof system, even more so than the D jet on the T3. Of course if butchered or messed up by weekend wannabe's it can be a problem. The AFC on my opel had never caused a problem in 180Kmi EVERYTHING is adjustable on the Ljet, and with ease... I may still put this on my Notch!
