Bosch made a change in that switch later on which kept it from happening later on, so you're protected if you have a later replacement switch in your 72-3. I don't know why it doesn't seem to happen in the 70-1 cars. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
