Welcome to VWForum. We're here to help you and answer your questions, but we'd like to get to know our members a little bit so we can help a little better.

Introduce yourself! This is a forum full of people, can't hurt to get to know a few!

I'll give an example of a good format for making an introduction.

Location: Dubuque, Iowa, U.S.A.
Age: 19
Occupancy: Home theater and car audio installation and sales
School (if any): University of Wisconsin Platteville

Hobbies: Home theater, car audio, cars (duh), music, my girlfriend, project days at my garage

How'd you find the forum?: The waterpump on my car broke while test driving it at the stealership so I had to find out what was wrong with it somehow! Liked this place and been here a year and some change!

Pic of me (completely optional):

(me and my girlfriend)



The good stuff!

Hello All,
This is probably outside the norm but here we go.

My son owns a 1991 VW Golf that he wants to restore and upgrade. I am coming with him for the ride and know absolutely jack nothing about VW's, but I am going to help him out the best I can.

I signed up here in the hopes that this community will be able to help out and fill in my massive knowledge gaps....LOL

I would like to thank everyone in advance that help me out with advice and guidance. I would also like to apologize to everyone if my questions are "not normal".... :)

Cheers
James

I hope this forum is as good as the Smart car forum and got my used electric car going.
I have a 2014 Jetta Basic, No S no TDI, Motor 4 wheel and a five speed. nothing fancy. This car was leased than I had to by it as paying for the mileage was more the the purchase. No it has 170K miles on it. The brake disk failed before the pads wear off on all four wheel. The transmission did not shit into 5th anymore. it cost me an arm and a leg. And now I drove down the Lewiston Grade, 7% downhill shifted down and left the clutch out to fast. some smoke and no more power transfer between engine and gear box. Now I am here. I am in the beautiful PNW, near Puyallup, WA

This prompted me to join the Forum. I had the VW dealer replace the 5 speed transmission and clutch kit, because I could not shift into fifth gear anymore. The car was fine driving as a 4 speed. Just the freeway gas mileage suffered a bit. The new transmission did not shift as easy and when I drove down the Lewiston grade at 6% and tried to shift down I missed the third gear. When I released the clutch, it destroyed everything. No VW dealer within 100 plus miles. U-haul for the rescue and 350 miles later i was home. I ordered a kit at O'Raily Autoparts and hope for the best.

Hi guys,

I live in Washington, have a 2015 Mk7 Golf TDI SEL. Last year I hit an elk doing around 60 and totaled the car due to some expensive body/glass damage. Luckily I was uninjured and there wasn't any major structural damage, since the salvage fee wasn't a lot I kept the car and re-titled it. Have been working on the Golf as I've had time over the last half year or so and it's just about road worthy again, joined the forum hoping to get some tips on some of the repairs I need.

Mk5 _ guy
Evening everyone, I'm new here. 1stvtime vw owner. Bought this bad boy with full intentions to customize ever single part that I can to make the car more me instead of the generic off the shelf type. Just bought the car and need the help from all u knowledgeable folks to walk me through a bit in fixing her and getting her up to par before I get to put my own spin on it. It an 06 mk5 Jetta 5 speed. With plans to be a widebody built at home wirh a set of Corvette rims and coilovers to compliment her. I'll keep the updated and soon to be pictures coming as I get things completed.

Hello all!
Patrick, in Arkoma OK, age 29.

I was thinking of getting a 1973 Bug without an engine, and having an electric motor put in, but to get the quote for the motor I need some specs for the car that aren't in the manual.

Where in the forums would I ask if a 1973 Bug has a straight or splined output shaft, or what is its Differential/Transmission or Belt/Chain Gear Ratio?
