Hi All
I've been following this forum for a while, as Ive been in and out of VW's. I thought I would introduce myself and follow up later with some technical queries.
I've bought two cheap unregistered cars for my kids and bought them back to life one is a Blue 1999 Mk4 and the other is a Red 2002 Mk4. They both had all the usual problems like windows, switches and lack of any evidence of timing belts being done. I've now corrected all of that and we are all very happy. Great little cars.
I've been involved with cars for many years and gradually increasing my skill level and ability. When we bought the two Mk4's we became very familiar with removing the insides of doors and windows etc. More recently I've done a timing belt, water pump and tensioner. Changed the big plastic thermostat and switches on an AKL.
I've also got a cheapy Chinese VCD cable and started reviewing codes and clearing faults after repair. So Im feeling reasonably comfortable with these cars. No fault lights on the dash now !!
I hope that I can contribute to this forum as well as learn from the many experienced people.
Cheers Andrew
