They seem to fix that the valve seals will fix it. They also say that the recall is only being honered for certain VW's - many years and all non-fuel injection rabbits and non-rabbits are excluded, although I gathered they also affect most of these. Apparently the US Government is currently suing VW to get a wider recall. They advise owners of non-recalled VW's to get it fixed now and save the receipts - if the government wins the suit you might get a refund. Since this is all from memory, of course you should go buy the issue if you're affected. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
