I remember I had several recalls on ECU and Idle Control Module for my 87
Syncro.   Whenever you have a bad ECU or ICM, I'd check with VW dealers
first to make sure yours has been replaced by recalls.  If not, you saved
several hundred bucks.

Recently I related the story of my 87 Syncro suddenly developing a +4,400
RPM
idle.  I traced this to the Idle Control Module located forward of the
right/rear taillight.  The dealer said list was $208.  I called several
wreckers and was quoted from $80 to $20 for this item.  I bought the $20
one
and it arrived yesterday.
