Strange Stereo Problem (Monsoon)

Woodchuck,

I almost started writing back a bitter reply...It's OK, I won't take
this personally, and I hope you do not either. I have appreciated your
insight many times and I acknowledge that in part it is your
affiliation and experience with VW that make your postings so useful.
But admit you would have been somewhat upset if you had to replace your
monitor because an expert said it was ruined and then it turned out it
was just a temporary thing that would go away. I will stop reasoning
as to why this is not quite right or run the risk of appearing to blame
it on someone else ... All's well that ends well.

Regards,

Stan

I assume your monitor came with a manual that included warnings like "do
not expose to water"? If you want an environmentally ruggedized
display, you can get one from the same people who sell them to the armed
forces; I'm sure you can imagine what they cost. Meanwhile, if you're
looking for a "cause" in this situation, I'd say it's your crappy roof.

George Bush Military computer monitor. And when it fills up with water and
stops working... I can beat the crap out of it with the $1200 military
hammer!

There's a bunch of stuff about VW's I don't like. One example is I had to
replace the starter in a low miles V8 Touareg a few weeks ago. Sounds like a
routine repair, don't it? Except the first step is to remove the engine and
transmission-I'm not kidding! That's going to hurt when it's out of warranty
and the poor owner has to pay 2 days of labor! I've learned over the 32 ears
of VW's one must look at an "issue" from all perspectives. And yes putting
cup holders above a radio is totally stupid!
