Motronic years?

[GYPS16A@prodigy.com ( GEOFF K ZIMMER)]

Paul,
I do not know whin / if VW ever went to true Motronic. In '87 they 
started introducing Digifant, which is very similar to Motronic, but 
not quite. (And can be problematic and has drivability problems)
     As for VW getting the leftovers, that is exactly true. Remember, 
at one time they were fairly reasonably priced cars, (No more...) and 
one of the ways to produce an inexpensive car is to not use cutting 
edge technology. As an example, my '78 Volvo had CIS with an oxygen 
sensor, while VW didn't start using oxy sensors until '83, and even 
then only on GTI's. (And California, of course)
     Bosch makes products for the open market, and the expensive 
brands get the good stuff first.
