CEM = Central Electronics Module. From 1999 and on everything is networked together through a Central Electronics Module.
Except for P80s. Everything P2+ has a CEM.

I tried to chase down a NewBeetle but couldn’t keep up with her on the curves. Turns out she had the Chapperal air duct option to keep her flat on the road.

Cat and dog missed each other a lot.

Had to glue a couple of cracks, but it's ready now. Clips and all.
Superb work. You are doing exactly what Ive always wanted but never has the time to do it. By the time I get around to rebuild my parts car engine, there probably wont be any rebuild kits left.

How do you properly dispose of the the dirty bucket of Simple Green? When do you know that you must stop using that bucket because it's too dirty?

If that piece is ABS, what glue did you use on it? I'm looking for a more gelatinous glue like that for my tailgate supports and some interior trim.
