Really??  The book says 11/85 (or 12/85 I don't have it in front of me).
Huh...   Must be that Fuchengruven VAG thing;  sticklers for detail, don't
you know.  Wait a minute...   maybe the difference is Quattro turbo vs.
Non-Q turbo.  Maybe the 86 Q's are G60's after 11/85, and not the non-q
turbos.  Anybody know??

BTW Eugene, I bet you find panic stops at 60mph an up really sporting.
After the QLCC mod, I realized my car was _seriously_ underbraked.  

Oh, and Eugene, I applaud your choice in cars   :-)
