>Be careful when buying a jack.<

Yup, and that includes the Wolfsburg models too (88 and up, I believe), many of which came with the wrong jack standard. The was a recall that...apparently my PO did not receive...He ended up F#@*'ing up the cladding holes on mine. I wonder if I can still turn my jack in via the recall and get the proper one...anyone know if there is a statute of limitations for that kind of thing??
