Jesus, Russ, just when we thought we had started to make sense out of this you go and get us all confused again! ;-) My .004 manual was printed in Germany in 8/71. It was the manual delivered with the car when it was picked up in Germany under the tourist delivery program. I suppose that VWoA had a separate printing which got this change in sooner, but I wouldn't think that VWoA could have been ahead of VW AG. OTOH, this may simply have been a warrantee issue, and VWoA may have done this before VW AG to reduce the warrantee claims they were paying for. When and where was yours printed? - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
