Not positive where it is in the TD5 model, but many people may know.

you can buy a circuit board silicone waterproofing spray online. It's not cheap like $35. But it works great and then you don't have to worry about it.

Did any water get in your tranny? A guy I met last weekend did a water crossing in his DII and lunched his tranny, ended up converting to an R380! Pretty sweet swap.

Speak for yourself! I've failed countless times on my yearly inspections for the most absurd of reasons. VT is bad!
