All that's correct, but at least let's give the mechanic credit for finding the fuel 
pump relay, testing the injector outputs, and eventually getting the engine 
running. He seemed to be a good troubleshooter, without knowing much of 
anything about D-jet FI.

The misinfo seems to be mostly concentrated in the comments, which seems 
to have attracted mostly VW haters and poster children for "a little bit of 
knowledge is a dangerous thing."
