I guess one of my pet peeves is the routine replacement of perfectly good parts, especially when it leads to throwing away a GOOD OE part only to replace it with a cheap, poor quality part. I realize that there's a down side to my attitude, however: If no one ever replaced their condensers, Bosch would stop making replacements, and that would eventually hurt a lot of people. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
