Re: Fuel Line inspection -Not a DIY'r fix
My 82 Westy came with a fire extinguisher. I guess is VW knew something
then. Always a good idea - think about it, gas, rubber/plastic fuel lines,

Re: EV MV Search
John
Let us know more about the 99 MVWK if you don't drive it off the lot
yourself.
The VR6 is great.

Re: Fuel Line inspection
Ron,
Don't know what VW will do, but if I were you I'd replace the fuel lines now....The $$$ are few compared to the aggravation of a fire...

Re: '99 MV wanted + advice?
Rumors of the demise of the EV are greatly exaggerated, as the 2000
models are already on these shores. I doubt that they'd abandon the EV,
