Hi all: I had a similar problem with my 85 westy but it also affected my gas guage and the temp guage, I think(this happened quite awhile back). The problem was a little electronic gadget that looked like a diode or something, in the dash that the vw mechanic called a vibrator. He seemed to think it was a common problem. Maybe someone can elaborate.=20 Todd Francis
