[Vwdiesel] Re: Daytime running lights

[Brian or Pam Harrison]

Hi Sandy;
If you have the Bentley Manual VG92, Volkswagen GTI, Golf, Jetta
1985-1992 Service Manual, you can check pages 272 to 276 for the
full current flow diagrams for the Canadian models with the Daytime
Running Lights. That's one thing I have always liked about the
Bentley manuals and that is that they include the details for things
only available on Canadian models.
