Your tac finally woke up to smell the roses.On a 2.1 engine standard
trans tac reads 3800 at 65mph and 4050 at 70 mph.The 1.9 I don't know as
VW gave me a clock in stead of a tac.Now if your really going 65-70mph
and tac reads only 3000, you better lock all your doors cause VW agents
will come calling for their Beta trans.  Marcus
