It's just that over the years I have gotten plenty of new stuff that
doesn't work. VW stuff not so much, but it does happen.

Temp II sensors, I don't think about them much now that I only drive a
diesel Vanagon, but I remember that there was discussion about people
getting new bad ones at one time. I got a Temp II sensor for my new beetle
at a parts store and it was bad.
