Yup.  Says that about my 1990 100 TW too.  Wrong, though - the pump connector is still
connected.

I have the "eyebrow" dash and you can get the correct insert for it to show the right symbol -
just pennies from Audi.

But the fuse and diode light trick in the fuel pump relay still works, even though I have the
diagnostic connectors.
