Harry, You probably got an answer to this one already, but I thought I'd share this: my Dad's 16V Jetta has the shielded cap with ground strap - the dealer sold him a plain Bosch cap & said to swap the metal shield. It was *very* tight, but the cap did eventually slide out of the *top* of the metal shield. I think my Scirocco also has this setup. I still haven't found the cap on my Jetta Turbo Diesel, though... ;-) Good Luck. ps: Thanks for the info on the tires - I'm trying to find a local shop with a good price on them now. *--------------------------------* | Shawn Wright, Network Manager | | St. Michaels University School | | 3400 Richmond Rd, Victoria, BC | | Canada V8P 4P5 | | (604) 592-2411 Fax: 592-2812 | | swright@smus.bc.ca | *--------------------------------* I haven't lost my mind; I'm sure it's backed up on tape somewhere!
