Joel,

Good to hear that you are still alert. I am glad that you watch out for us. 8-) My brake light switch on my 2004 Jetta has already failed once and was replaced under warranty. Maybe they will replace it again just like the TDI egr system which sprung a leak, was replaced under warranty, and then replaced again under recall with a new and improved version. Vanagon content you ask? Well my Vanagon thrives with a TDI engine so this is indeed very relevant.

Cheers,

Björn
