I must have some crap luck..   All the electrical issues I see on here, I've never had any of them in any of my VW's.. I've had all the typical water leaks and so on too..   I've run into pump solenoid problems on other's cars, but it was usually much more drastic bucking...  I had to debate for a long time if it was indeed a miss, or rough rod/bad tires..

I put a new ignition switch on and ran a new wire this morn..  I'll find out how it does I guess..

Well, it did overdose, took a ride to the ER then rehab... It was in recovery for a while, but I think it's in the process of a relapse..
