Introducing the newbies corner

Hi everybody!

Have had our TDi Pacific for about 2 months now and have clocked up over 6000 fantastic klms. The leather trim and heated seats are great and well worth the extra. We have had an issue with some of the windows coming down by themselves. Not much, only about 5 mm, but enough to be a concern. Other than that it is a great car and i look forward to being a member.

Cheers

Welcome to the forum, Norts. Sounds like you are certainly enjoying the VeeDub experience. How about updating your location so that you can be included in future get-togethers and local relevant info can be passed your way?

Enjoy the forum ... there are a great number of knowledgeable ppl on here who can help you if/when you need it and it's also a great social gathering of dubofiles.

gday, dan is my name, I ve only just been converted to the vw faith, but I can see myself becoming fanatical. I have a new 2.0 tdi pacific on order, should be picking it up in a couple of wks. Just wondering if anyone has ever fitted nudge/ roo bars to their golf. any pics from rally background? and also wondering how the towbars are fitted? I live in rural WA, hence the plans for somewhere to mount the spotties. any simple mods to make the diesel pull harder, better economy etc, am very impressed with it stock, but still.....

Mkv Gti DSG

Hi all,
Just taken delivery 2 days ago new Dark Blue 2008 GTI DSG Leather and Park Sensors. Very good drive away price I think the financial crisis plus the new model coming out has made the dealers more flexible.

I have been reading the forum for some time as my wife has a TDI Golf, aways a good read and friendly members.

The Gti just go's, very tempting but not run in so taking some care. Hope I can keep myself under control I need my licence.

Early days but so far just loving the drive.

typical newbie question

right i'm looking at getting either a 97-98 audi a3 possibly turbo, and a 98 golf. I was hoping on some pros and cons on both models. There both in the same price band and i have qualities i like about both models, was also looking at some suttle mod's ie wheels smoothing of body panels and maybe in the future engine work, but i mean way in the future. Any help will be appreciated and/or telling me to post somewhere else, what ever floats your boat.
Thanks
Anthony
