VW started using D jet in 1969 on the Type 3 fastback / squareback / notch back. It was later used by SAAB , Volvo, Jaguar and a few others. These now 40 year old systems are bound to have a bad part now and then.

If you don't like electronics, why do you own a computer?
Because I need it to use this forum. And, I don't drive my computer... I drive my diesels, buying the 450 was a mistake. Especially as I'm not an elderly lady. I don't mind my 63 and 65 microbusses, they're as reliable as it gets for a gasser. I thought about installing a computer in one of them, that makes sounds every now and then or actuates a servo that makes things pop up but haven't got to that yet.
