Violent Cutoff (I mean really violent)

[Ingo Rautenberg]

That's bizzare.  It's the one that was on the 200q20v when I bought it and
it ran like a champ.  The Urq doesn't have one even remotely like it.
Haven't checked the other one I eplaced it with.  In any case, glad yours is
working again.  Now that I looked under the No., according to ETKA, it's for
the UrS4/S6 cars...
