Woody, I installed this part, works just fine. By the way, the VW part is not just a capacitor, it includes active electronics (or so I've been told, have not actually disassembled one). The capacitor mod is a much cheaper do-it-yourself fix for the same problem. People have had success with this approach too. If you want the VW part, get it from a discounter like Camelback, don't pay $165! The problem that this part fixes is a stumbling after a spell of driving at highway speeds. It's not a "performance increasing" mod. MM
