RE: surging 91 200q

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

Bentley for my 1990 Coupe quattro says that starting with the 1990 model
year the fuel relay fuse trick doesn't work, but that there is now a way
of connecting an LED across contacts under the drivers kick panel to get
the same blink codes. I don't have my Bentley handy, but I could check
if you'd like. I'm not sure the contacts will be similar enough in my
Coupe quattro to any in your 200 for any info I can forward to make any
sense, however. Let me know if you want more (Coupe quattro) info...
