Need some help with a cis 8v
Brian,
My memory is stirring, seems like on the Scirocco 16V there is a mushroom
looking device that hangs off the airbox, with a line that goes to the air box
itself... This indeed is a regulator, but it is only on the 16V Roccs... I
just checked ETKA...
Humble apologies...
David
