Hi All!
I have been lurking for a couple of months since I purchased my '89 GL
Wolfsburg.  The car is in great shape despite having 124k miles.  I got
it for a steal, since the small used car dealer I bought it from didn't
know what he had.  Anyway, I need a power mirror for the passenger side.
The original has been replaced with one of those $15 jobbers and it sags
as soon as the door has been closed a couple of times.  Does anyone
have/know about one for sale?  White would be nice.

My only complaint about the car is the infamous oil warning light/buzzer
misbehavior.  My mechanic has looked over the system AND replaced the
dynamic sensor, which wasn't the problem (does anyone need one-I have an
extra).  After replacing the oil filter and oil as a result of
suggestions on this list, the buzzer doesn't sound as much anymore, but the
light still blinks.  Still working on it.....

Love the leather steering wheel and the captains chairs..still getting
used to the two rear-facing seats..still learning how to get into and out of
the car with a business suit and heels on (I am 5'4")..looking forward to
the first overnighter!
