Hk,

I have an 01 NB TDI.  And, yes, it has electrical issues.  However, all
of them are pleasant.  One of them is there is no door open buzz after
the first week I bought it new.  When it did operate, it sounded like
the car was dying.  I would have paid to get rid of it, as I would ALL
door open buzzers.

Well, my question is do any of you have a NB?  Have you had any weird
electrical problems?  The lights on this car blink when the ac is turned
on, and the whole thing shuddered and almost died when I pulled the
headlamp switch OUT to activate fog lamp.  I'm talking at 75 mph on the
interstate.  Electrical nightmare.  Hit the windows and something beeps.
The door locks and the inst cluster goes haywire, then back to normal.
