Yes, it's the little one that may be giving you this problem. (Or are there 3 wires: a big and medium molded into the battery clamp, and a small one that connects to the FI separately. > As for the fresh air drain hose. I saw that there were two.

To pull out the big plastic airbox you have to pull out the radio and the air controls. It helps to take the glove box off first to help with access. The airbox is held in place by 4 small bolts at the very top which point straight up. After the airbox is out you can reach up there with your hand and pull out any debris. It is usually not necessary to take out the airbox, but it makes it easier to to a thorough job. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
