The problem is that even the crappy aftermarket replacements will
work okay for a couple years. I'd like to think that Bosch will do
better, but I don't know any way to know without spending the time.
I REALLY need to buy one of those and put it in one of my Type 3s.
BTW, if anyone has one that has died, I'd LOVE to do a post mortem on
it. Let me know and I'll pay the postage.
