Re: problem with MFA odo & speed function when cold

[drew <drew@dyermaker.cs.uoguelph.ca>]

Based on this information I'm hoping for a marginal connection in the back
of the instrument cluster - perhaps the cold temp causing the plastic
backing of the pc to shrink enough that it doesn't make contact? 

I'll probably get around to taking a look in a week or so I guess - can't
mess with the daily commute right now, and I won't be finished with the
Jetta for a bit.

Thanks for the info,

Drew
