I had a capacitor leaking on my 91 TT, so I started looking for a replacement ecm, (MD159966). After much searching for both used and rebuilt, and finding prices as high as $599 for it, (usually around $350), I came across O'Reilly's Auto Parts where I bought a Cardone rebuilt one with a limited lifetime guarantee for $249. Knowing this is a pretty common occurance with the 1G, just thought I'd throw it out there in case someone else encounters the same problem.

 

Do the 2nd gens have capacitor trouble like the 1st gens?
