Nooooo!!!! Just shoot me out the airlock now...

Seriously, if you want me to look at the setups in some of my other fine
German scrapiron to see what this altered version was in it's previous
life, LMK, I have a few 8Vs and a 16V Passat I can go look at. Maybe send
me a pic...

I'm yielding the laptop to the daughter, during which time I'll go look at
the same part on the cabby...back at ya later.
