lindajane, congratulations on the purchase! I have to agree, though; don't sell the VW. My first car was a '74 Bug, and I sold it after the engine blew up. I still wish that I had rebuilt the engine and kept the car (although not as a daily driver )...it was a fun lil' car.

I hate to go off-topic, but I have to ask why is this? I remember part of that discussion, but I don't remember ever hearing any negative things about the parallel-flow condensers.

Thanks!
