What's your tune-up routine? Plus bonus ?s

[julie at menloparkrandd.com (julie@menloparkrandd.com)]

2 cap types. One has a copper shewath on the inside, the other has the sheith with a center pin (later style). Just pull a cap wire and look.
As for the parts? Just about every thing covered from what I see. The transaxle fluid of choice of Scirocco champs is RedLine. I have 2 bottles ready for the car when I eventually get to assemble it :)
roll up your sleeves and have fun!
