Hi Roy the best solution to your problem would be to get the Bentley manual
and a ohm/volt meter. with these two items entire afc system can be checked
electrically at disconnected multi-pin connector of control unit.  with
patients you will be able to figure out what system is letting you down.
It's very simple and will really help you learn what makes your new van
tick.  meter cost: 20-30 $  manual: 100$ can .  If you can't spring for the
manual I'll scan the needed pages and e-mail them to you. as it's your first
vw I'd hate for a nagging problem to sour you on them.
