Loren -

Howcum my VAG microfiche (dated 1991) (forget ETKA) clearly shows the OXS
box (called a Recorder with Warning Switch - 251 957 901 C) were installed
on USA Vanagons thru the 1991 model year?  Perhaps a factory campaign
afterwards to remove them for some recall reason?

Perhaps Troy has a Canadian model where they weren't installed at the
factory, which would explain why his may be missing and he uses the long
cable.  I know my buddy's 87 Canadian Panel Vanagon doesn't have one either
and uses the long cable.

BTW Troy - The replacement Speedo Cable I picked from the local Dealer has
BOTH a hole for the Cotter Pin and a slot for the 4mm E-Clip.  Any *Good*
FLAPS should have the appropriate 3/16" E-Clip in their bins, which will
work fine.

Just my nickel's worth ;-)
