Hi again Rick. I have the l-jetronic fuel injection on my bug as
well. I'm not an experienced mechanic by any means, but I have
monkeyed around with the injection system. I might be able to help
if I know what the symptoms are and what has already been replaced.
You can email me if you'd like, I would be more than happy to try
and help you out.
