Gday

Im Sam from Melbourne. Just purchased an 08 Golf TDI Pacific in United Grey. Was in the market for a new car for the Mrs - shopped at Mazda (for a 6) and then Subaru (for a Forester) and am SO glad that we ended up with a Golf.

My car is an 06 commodore, and the TDI blows its socks off, and handles 100 times better to boot.

Couldnt be happier with the car - just under 3000km on the clock now, only had it for a month today!

Having said that -I do have ONE issue - the CD player has **** itself - I get an error message saying to 'check disk' - this comes up regardless of what disk i put in. So I think its going back to Barlow World.. and I think i'll get the ipod adapter fitted while im there.

Does anyone know if the OEM VW ipod adapter will work with the 3G iphone?

Thanks

Sam

Hey

I've just stumbled across this site and thought I couldn't resist sharing my praise for vw's. For a short period of time I have had the pleasure of owning a mk1 golf and I can say I don't think I went wrong. It goes great for a little car and is completly underated as a car in Australia. Just the other day I had some bogans in a van row boating me, to which i replied by torching them to show them a thing or two. So it would be great if I could also get some contacts in terms of parts and supplies as I need to do a bit of work and would like to get it looking like its former glory.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum, Dan. It would help if you filled in your location details ... that way other members can steer you to the best bargains, tuners, retailers in your area as well as invite you on dub cruises or get-togethers.

Enjoy your dub and the forum, Mate.

New Golf VW 1990 Convo

Hey fellow members, Hope ya all good???

Just purchased a 1990 VW Golf Cab - pics included, had one in 1993 but had the blue with blue matching roof (for the life of me, i can't find any pictures) - Saying that, in 1993 i think we were using poloroids.....

Anyways, whilst i have your attention, does anyone know anyone with the white roof cover (the one when the roof is down, it hides it) - i am on the look out for one.... help much appreciated.

Anyways happy dubbin about and be cool to see fellow dubbers about....

Hey all - 99_FGT here, aka Al (or is it the other way around)
New to the forum as I'm looking to get a VR6 in 4-8 weeks - I have a hole to fill before I can get one.
Liking what I'm seeing here, but I must say it will not stay stock for long. Will be looking to do suspension and braking mods to get it to handle better, and from what I see there are not a lot of opportunities for major power gains without going down a compressed air route.
Another Brissie member (southside ftw), previously had a Foz GT (99, hence the name) and then an SP23. Hope the VR6 is what I am after.
Cheers,
Al..

ps. I'll most likely be riding Shotgun with SeanGTi on the March 29 GC cruise - look forward to meeting some of you

VW Convert

Hello all. I have been driving an 06 Gti Polo since new. Bought it in Jan 06. Previously had a Subaru awd turbo. Have to say it was quicker stock vs stock. But I am planning on getting a retune to the polo. So can't wait to see the difference. Live in Brisbane so I am thinking APR will be the way to go, firstly because of the functions and also location. But I will not be making a rushed decision.
