    I had the bucking syndrome problem fixed free-of-charge by my friendly
   VW service place.
   I can't remember now if was as a warranty thing or a freebie as part of a
   product recall.Memory fails me but given the warranty period was only
   12 months (but unlimited kilometers) for commercial vehicles at the time,
   it may well have been a recall FOC replacement thing.

   Anyway whatever it was,I got the $150 part for nix so I was happy :)
   Is this /was this not a fix-it-upper honoured by VW in the US...?
   Bloody well should be...
