I went ahead and got one local since this car is my daily driver. I will be working on the car tonight and putting your FAQ to use.

If your current one is working okay, the new one will make exactly zero difference. The only advantage to the modified one is that it should last somewhat longer. There is the possiblity that it should produce less generator noise on your radio, but that is usually small anyway. Obviously, it will have no effect on radio ignition noise, which is sometimes significant on AM. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
