Hi Sergio.  I have a '90, and I just had my fuel injector recall 
performed in April of this year.  I live in Canada, and have a 
Canadian Westy.  I have been following your posts on this to much 
amazement as I haven't experienced ANY problems.


My fuel mileage has improved between 1 & 2 mpg, and cold starting has 
never been better (although I put in some Bosch Platinums about the 
same time).  The van runs flawlessly, with lots of ooomph for hills 
now more than ever.


I hate to contradict your results, but I do believe that your dealer 
must have done something wrong.  My recall included 4 injectors and 
new fuel lines/rails.  Nothing electrical.


Harry.
