Fw: [elec] bad ground problem '81 16v

["Rick" <maxhp@visuallink.com>]

<x-charset iso-8859-1>I have had several Rabbit GTis and a very common problem for them is for the
windshield to leak, dripping water on top of the fusebox.  Ironically, it
drips right onto the fuel pump relay.  after it corrodes, it freaks out and
causes wierd shit to happen.  just givin you ideas.  hth.

The longer you wait to turn around, the longer your ass will be pointing in
the same direction...  Make a change..
