Introducing the newbies corner

[Mass]

Hi all,


Very happy to be here and also very happy to have found VWwA.
I own a Black 06 MkV5 Jetta 2FSI. And I bought a Black 07 Passat wagon 2TDI for my beautiful wife.
What can I say, I love my Jetta and I look forward to finishing the mods/work that I have planned for it. At the moment it rides on stock 17" wheels, which soon will be replaced by 18"s maybe (any suggestions or suppliers, please let me know). Suspension is via KW coil over #3, and I also added a HiTV V2000 GPS/Stereo. Sunroof, dark tint and leather are factory and recently I fitted the Smoked Angel Eye Projector Headlights.
Next will be ECU upgrade, filter and exhaust. Again I would appreciate any recommendations and feedback from you guys.

PS: Sorry cant post any pics yet. Will do soon.

Cheers for now
Stelios

Skoda close enough

Hi guys,
No ride yet just sold the Forester GT to get an new car.
Looking at the Octavia 2.0 diesel or Scout. Still deciding whether to go DSG or Manual on the Octavia. So many choices so little time.
Thought would come on to pick your brains before making any rash decisons.
cheers Lads and ladies

Looking around the VW range.

Hi All,
I have been reading with interest on the forums about the many variations between the different vans in the range, so many options and versions. I am interested in the newer Caravelle/Multivan and transporter style as we need an 8 seater to move the family circus around and soon will need a 9 seater. I have seen a few transporters with 9 seats and rear air con and different seating configerations.

We currently have a Ford wagon with extra seats in the rear which has been good but kids are getting bigger and will only be practical for a few more years.

I was looking at a transporter with 9 seats and wondered if there was a big difference between the 93Kw turbo diesel and the 128Kw when it came to moving 2 adults, 7 kids although young they come with all the stuff you need to cart around the countryside like prams,bags,bikes etc etc.

I am a diesel fitter by trade and understand the difference on paper between the two but I was wondering if anyone had driven both and could give me their opinion of the difference, also on the tech side if there is a conversion kit or what the component's are needed to upgrade it from the 93kw to the 128kw if needed.

I have got the brouchures from VW on the different new vans available and I can see us being able to afford something around the 30-35k mark second hand.

Any and all advice on the good the bad and the ugly on different models/motors or configerations would be gratefully appreiciated.

Kind Regards

Vwnewby.

The New Guy

Hi All,

Have just purchased a 2002 Passat 1.8L turbo(great car for the price). Previously owned a 2006 S-line A4..but my ex got it.

So not entirely new to this type of car. Have had Toyota's and cant say they arent reliable..but for safety & quality, until you've owned Euro you cant compare.

Am keen to give the Passat a little boost but not sure how to go about it the right way, so thought I'd pick up some tips from the experts on here.
I live in Nth Qld so finding the right person for the job is also an issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Chat soon.

2007 Gti

Hi ladies and gents,

I have a 2007 Golf GTI, silver, 3 door, manual with xenons, leather and a sunroof.

I have been a VW nut for as long as I can remember thinking about cars and I have to say I adore my Flog

I have been reading the forum for a while and thought I'd join and say hi.

Cheers,

UD

Hi All !

I have just recently bought myself a Mk3 Golf GL .. It was love at first sight when i saw her in the caryard !

Black with body color bumpers & trim , Manual, Decent Tint on the windows and Masked Headlights .. Oh and 85,000km on the clock .. not bad for a 97'

I live in the eastern suburbs of melbourne and am very keen to see other peoples Golfs .. and especially Mk3's .. I get a little excited even just seeing another Mk3 in traffic ..

Planning to get some nicer wheels, lower suspension and some euro numberplates ..

Jazzmotion

Hey all, my name's Adrian and I've had my Bora 4motion for almost 2 and a half years. It is Jazz Blue with Grey leather, and was originally purchased from Burwin VW in Ferntree Gully, Victoria. Now reside in the Perth Hills area.. Keen to find some locals who actually know stuff about Bora's, because they are somewhat of an unknown car in Perth.... Plenty of Golf's, but so few Bora's....

Hi everyone,

I have visited a couple of VW site in Australia but so far only found that this site has more information to read. Thank you for all the contributors.

I've got my first owned VW Jetta (been driven a few different VW from some friends) TSI 1.4L Twincharged from Essendon VW - VIC about 5 weeks ago and so far have done over 5700 kms with 1 oil change @ 5000 kms by myself!

I used the car for business so every week I drove average 700-800 normally.

I haven't seen many Jetta owners in here, is there anyone out there???

Cheers.
