Some information I picked up when I was traveling through No. Cal and
I stopped at a VW dealer:  The dealer said that Eurospec didn't seem
interested in making product improvements, read that improving items
necessary to improve the longevity of their conversion.  So this
dealer wasn't doing solicitation for conversion business.  If it came
to them they would do it, but otherwise they weren't marketing the
product.  Just too many hassles.
