Guys and gals that know only how to program the OBD-whatever, to plug in the diagnostics, to substitute an outrageously expensive "whatever-module" when the computer screen tell them they have found a "fault code" for that 'module'.....but actually put their hands inside a vehicle?...find a broken wire connection? tighten a nut or a screw?....nope! Not those technicians, they probably don't even know what that is..."a nut?....What's the code for that?".... You don't want anyone like that anywhere near your Vanagon anyhow. Don Hanson |
