i did not catch the entire sequence re: above. on my '82 which passed
away two years ago, all you had to do is reset a switch. it appears
that the shop in question was trying the ole ripoff scam with a
female. vw cannot afford the headaches to stock and supply so many
of these components. beside, the advantage of the modern digital
auto comonents is that they have a long life and can be reset if
designed properly. auto dealers also often do not know the autos
that they service. the insist on putting 4.5 quarts of oil in my
saab when the real capacity is 3.7 quarts, for example. (even the
owner's book suplied with the car says 4.5 quarts - it was not until
i got a haynes manual that the mystery of the exact amount of oil
was revealed to me.) the ripoff scenario sounds more plausible in
this case, though.
