Re: [A2] dash problem

[Brian C Barrows <ferret100@juno.com>]

Thanks for you help, guys.  I now have all of my problems fixed and my
Jetta is running all nice and happy!  I'd like to say that it was all due
to a combination of Scirocco list advice and dilligence and automotive
knowledge on my part, but I have to be perfectly honest and say I have no
clue what happened.  The dash suddenly started working right (the
electrical gremlins must have decided that Scirocco wiring tastes better
than Jetta wiring!), and when I put it all back together the power locks
started working (musta had a pinched vacuum line).  A few minutes of
driving filled the lifters and all is good!

But you guys rock all the same!

Thanks,
The cryptic B.

'82 Scirocco (a.k.a. "Fritz")
'85 Jetta (soon for sale)
'87 Porsche 944 (Yee Haa!)
