These are actually much fancier than a simple capacitor across the
line - they're an IC-based low-pass filter built into a box in the
middle of a pigtail with male and female plugs that fit the AFM and cable.

I personally think VW went way overboard with the circuit, and then
later after the recall expired went *way* overboard with the price of
the thing, but it's convenient and works, and compared to what VW
wants for it Robert's are downright cheap.

They're just as good as the "capacitor fix"* and a lot more
convenient to install.  Money vs time...

*Except they break one of the continuity tests in Bentley, but
there's a note there so it's not a big loss.  And of course it's one
more connector to get sloppy (surprised me a bit but I have one that
*is* sloppy, though it still seems to connect all right -- I think).
