My thanks to the five persons who responded to my ‘drive train’, etc. problem. Thet are Joseph E. Meehan, VDCdriver, Xebadaih, oldschool, and Youngtimer. I did indeed consult an independent German imports shop; they did a scan and found the engine light to be defective. It was replaced, and I am now a happy camper. The ‘drive train’ truly means the timing belpt, and that will be replaced some miles down the road. One of the owners also commented (not to me, but I heard him) that they had heard other complaints about the new people taking over the VW agency. While I have not escaped unscathed in the money department, I am much more comfortable with the ‘new guys’ taking charge of my car. Thanks again to you five. fanchion ---

You’re welcome! It’s always nice to get feedback from those to whom we give advice–especially if it was good advice. ---
