RE: 90Q ECU

["Duff, Ian" <iduff@charter.com>]

Rots-o-ruck. Nothing to do with V6, or airbag. My 1990 Coupe quattro has
it in the same (unmentionable) place. I am tempted to find a
proctologist to help with its removal. When you figure out how to get it
out without removing the dash and the heater box that is covering it,
please post your discovery to the list!

Bob D'Amato has mentioned chipping his 90q. Bob, any thoughts? No, not
those kind, how about constructive ones?
