[Vwdiesel] Shift light?

[Mike & Coreen Smith]

I jammed the wire into the W-terminal (it had rotted off) in a moment of
weakness (I know it's the incorrect repair) and shift light seems to work
better, but it's still telling me to shift @ around 80km/h in 5th
gear..........86 Golf 1.6D

Did the sneaky VW folks hide a 6th gear on this ol' rig that I am not aware
of, or is this always the way the "computer" acts ;-0
