If not, there are some wires on your starter which are misconnected. Look at your engine. Under the RHS of the intake air distributor is the CSV with a wire coming from the FI wiring harness and a second wire leaving and coming down to the temp switch. Is all this in place, nothing shorted to ground? How's your gas mileage? Measure your system voltage at medium RPM after a drive to warm everything up. It should be 14.1-14.4V. If it is less than 13.5V replace the voltage regulator with a genuine Bosch. If the voltage is low it will make the FI run rich. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
