Here you go,
it's a Behr 87c  (stock) Made in Germany bought from one of our favority
list vendors. It caused a big PITA and I will always check new one's on the
stove (westy stove that is as the girl friend was not impressed by boing in
it in a good pot in the kitchen :)
Cheers
Kevin

Did you get it from a VW dealer?
