[a2-16v-list] Daily driver probs



I changed the blue temp sensor and the car seems to be running fine. The
resistance did drop as Mr. Bentley suggests it should, but who's to argue
with results? I'll let you know tomorrow after work how it really worked.
Its a 74 mile each commute on the highway.
Thanks to all for ideas!!
John
