This is a VW, so it speaks in vienerschnitzel.
I may be able to motivate the car to work by spouting fast worded rhetoric and gutteral growling punctuated with a few belches, but I'm not sure what the thing would be motivated to do.
Sadly, the repair manual that would show me which wires to look at closely is in the back of my father's car -which is down at the repair shop getting a tow-hitch stuck on it.
*snort*
Look for the burned wires
VW? Isn't that the Fartfignewton car?
