On those cars, it is possible that there is a misplaced wire on the starter solenoid. This would have 2 effects: the pump runs all the time and the FI system runs rich. Sound familiar? If so, read the note in Bentley, Ch 4, pg 25. Your + battery terminal is being exposed to battery acid. The acid is probably seeping up around the termanal where the bond to the plastic has been broken. The most likely cause of this is from someone hammering the clamp down on the post. The only way to fix this is to replace the battery. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
