Recently I've come across a few items on eBay advertised as: BOSCH Injector TestLight VW 411 412 Fastback Squareback DO NOT BUY THESE! They are an aftermarket item, NOT made by Bosch, which are made to work with the Bosch L-Jetronic FI systems. They should NOT be used on the D-Jetronic systems which came on Type 3s and on Type 4s up thru '73. The problem with these test lights is that the pins are too thick, so they deform the female pins on the D-jetronic wiring harness so that you will have to either reform or replace the wiring harness female pins after using them. The l-Jetronic connectors use a female pin of a different design which is not damaged by this tester. The seller is advertising these as appropriate for our systems, but they are not. I've emailed him, but he has not responded. Once again, NEVER try to use one of these on a D-Jetronic car. They will just create headaches. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
