On another note, ever since I bought my '90 GL a yera
and a half ago, It has seemed to ride VERY harshly
over sharp bumps and such. I had thought suspension
bushings and shocks, but the local VW shop (Volk's
Cafe) said only shocks, the suspension bushings
wouldn't cause the harsh ride. I replaced the old KYBs
with Bilistiens and the ride improved a little, but it
is still not as good as I think it should be, The CD
player still skips when I hit a small pothole or
surface change. It is a new Blaupunkt CD/Radio. What
should I look at next? Bushings? Ball Joints? New
Alpine CD? One of the reasons that I bought the
Blaupunkt was that it would hook up easily and because
it didn't look as Gaudy or Flashy as some of the other
players. Also, thanks to those who responded about the
dying while cold problem, that cured itself as soon as
I bought the temp sensor II ($10 at Volks Cafe).
