Subject:Update! Re: Syncro Fuel Tank Level Sender should be available again soon!
From:Ken Wilford

Dear List,

I got the new syncro fuel tank level senders in today and instead of
being aftermarket like I thought they would be, they are actually brand
new OE VDO/VW parts!  So if anything in the Syncro community needs one
of these please pmail me.  They are going to be $199 and I can also get
the ring that the senders mount to with the studs (stainless steel) with
hardware for $99.  That way if you tank is messed up by rust you can
give it the one, two punch and get it fixed.

Let me know.
