RE: Passat 16v throttlebody on Scirocco?

["Scott F. Williams" <sfwilliams@home.com>]

Hey, the guys on the Hardcore VW list tell me that the manual transmissioned
Passat 16v t-body is on/off as you confirmed. However... the automatic
transmission version is a real potentiometer with full range of signal.
Woohoo! Now, I've got to determine what the heck I just bought. :^)
