Greetings to all, I'm a new member just joining today. I hope everyone is surviving this Winter's recent snow storms and staying safe from Covid 19. I'm retired and in my spare time I enjoy tinkering around my garage, especially maintaining my cars: '02 Jetta, '03 Passat, '18 Tiguan, and an unrestored '88 Chevy pickup. I've done a few updates on the VWs, including leather seats, radios, and some more involved work, e.g. timing belts, heater core exchanges, repairing non-working power windows. Some more involved projects that I would like to tackle are swapping the automatic trannys in the Jetta and Passat to manuals (I despair that manual transmissions are becoming rarer in the new vehicles being manufactured these days). I'm also interested in totally electric vehicles and anxiously await what is coming down the pike, e.g. VW , Tesla, Aptera. So, I'm really happy to be able to join this forum and look forward to exchanging ideas with members. One immediate question I have concerns turbo chargers, so I will post in the appropriate thread. Thank you.
