My bad

Kinda figured I'd get some feedback on an incorrect application, because Volkswagen has a GLARING error on ETKA regarding the Syncro Fusebox. ETKA (V5.3) shows all Syncros utilizing the older style fusebox. After seeing the feedback, I dug into my "ancient" archive of fiche's (Vanagon Syncro 2-1989) and found that Syncros do indeed use the "modern" Fuse box/Relay plate.

Not having ever owned a Syncro, I could not have been aware of the cataloging goof, typical case of information garbage in, garbage out.

I hope VW has corrected this error on their ETKA updates, otherwise the poor persons on the parts counter are getting bad info when this section is called up on their screens.

Thanks for the corrective feedback, duly noted
