Better to take them out and <br>store them in kerosene if you're not going to drive that engine again soon.<br><br>Yeah, it can be a pain.<br><br>BTW, I think there's more than 1 Bosch part number that are green. I know <br>no one bothers with this, but go by part number, not plastic color. The Bosch <br>part number is molded into the side of the plastic. <br><br>-- <br>*******************************<br>Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org<br>Madison, Wisconsin, USA<br>*******************************<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>VWType3.Org mailing list - type3@vwtype3.org<br>To unsubscribe or change subscription options, visit:<br>http://lists.vwtype3.org/listinfo.cgi/type3-vwtype3.org<br>If you need more help, contact: gregm@vwtype3.org<br></body></html>
