Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

I have no doubts that there are lawyers who chase every dollar. But just a warning to their customers, make sure that the only money they get isn't yours. In other word you go home with nothing.Performance Tunes from $850Wrecking RS OCTAVIA 2 Link

"Yeah, we did it."
A confession of guilt kinda does for the argument.

A reminder to everyone when it comes to legal advice (and any advice in general) provided by anyone on this forum:
It may be stating the obvious, but remember that you are dealing with (in many cases) nameless, faceless strangers who may or may not be more informed that you are, have different circumstances, different motives and different values. Personal opinions are just that, they may help with your own train of thought, but any legal/financial decisions should be approached with a great deal of caution. Read the fine print, understand the risks of what you are choosing to do and if in any doubt consult with a professional.
