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?
