Re: Help needed on 16V Scirocco

["David Zanotti" <zanotti@wmis.net>]

I had somewhat similar symptoms that were cured by replace the differential
pressure regulator and running another ground from the negative terminal of
the battery to the motor, then to the chassis.

Not saying we have the same problem, but thought I"d pass it on.
