Did they have the vag-com or equipment to enter in your VIN info? If not that could be a/the issue. Also, I have a '95 5 speed & one shop told me that it needed a new ECU. It turned out that the vaccum line from the ecu was accidentally pinched (by the shop) when they replaced the plastic cover on the ecu. Once the vacuum line was correctly routed under the plastic cover it ran fine. Good luck.

So I brought my EV weekender (5-speed) into a reputable shop to get
the clutch replaced
and they did a fine job. Although 10 days later it died on me. I
towed back to the shop and
they say it's the ECU. I found another ECU at a salvage yard and
although I couldn't read the
O/E numbers - it came from another 5-speed EV so I purchased it and
brought it in.
The shop said it was bad - so now I need to find a new one. The
folks at SIA would rebuild
mine for $300. Does anyone have any suggestions?
