Perhaps an ECU problem of not being able to process O2 sensor signal.

This topic came up a couple of months ago and one list member suggested to
disconnect and then reconnect the battery. This will cause the ECU to reset
itself .
Perhaps other list members can elaborate on this.

Added another VW to the stable today; a 69 Bus.

Cheers,
