Another thing I might add is that Derek's fiche may be even a NEWER parts
film than the one I took some of my info off of, thus negating the ECU
speculative explanation I offered in my previous post.  A lot of times VW
and Bosch are not very forthcoming as to why not to interchange, they just
say DON'T (and we all know VW just loves to duplicate indentical pieces
with different part numbers - drives me mad sometimes).

But then again, people like Derek, Dennis and even once in awhile myself
HAVE to know those answers to those so-called niggling trivial WHY questions.

Derek, it sounds like you spend an awful lot of time reading your parts
film(s), even moreso than I do (and I do all day long). ;-)
