Scirocco recall

[pbureau@attbi.com (pbureau@attbi.com)]

Yeah I did my own on the 85 8v, (same thing) and its a 
long process, if the mechanic pay attention (good luck! 
we are talking about dealership mechanics here) then 
everything shoudl be fine.


I did the complete swap of gaz tank by removing the 
complete axle and redid the hoses on my fuel system 
while I was at it, and it took me about 4-6hrs (never 
really look at time when I start/stop working on my car.
