    Discontinuation of the erWin Webshop for Private Customers

    There are a number of posts about this on various other forums. 1) One on the Ross Tech site from someone in Australia has been told that the VW Group do not want the public trying to repair their own EV’s due to the dangers involved, and must be by trained technians only. They tried to...

    Roof conversion hydraulic >> manual

    Hello again! After successfully converting my roof from hydraulic to manual two years ago, I decided it was finally time to replace the canvas as well. Being almost 20 years old, the original canvas had endured plenty of sun, rain, wind, and UV exposure — I have to say, I’m genuinely impressed...

    4Motion explanation and how it works.

    Before delving too deeply into 4MOTION, understand that there are two different versions, one for VW models equipped with longitudinal drivetrains, such as the Phaeton and Touareg, and another for those VW models with transverse engines, including Jetta and Passat and T5. Phaeton and Touareg...

    4Motion explanation and how it works.

    Well done. A comprehensive explanation. I was a mechanic a hundred years ago and found this very informative. I’ve just placed an order for a man tge 4x4 with the optional diff lock running through an 8 speed auto box not a DDG which I thought they would have used. Regards

    So Who are You?

    I like this post but I am not sure whether you can say, "Baby Boomers were the first generation to experience...". When I was two I could hardly have experienced "The assassination of Martin Luther King" although it did happen during my childhood. However, I do remember the death of Elvis being...

    So Who are You?

    These general descriptions are obviously hopelessly inaccurate, my boomer chums vary dramatically from out and out hippies to some who are philosophically to the right of Genghis Khan. The same variation occurs through all the generations, thankfully most take all this stuff with a huge pinch of...

    DPF and how it works

    I found this explanation of the function of the DPF on the T5 Oil Consumption Facebook page. Makes a lot of sense, if you have had the problems I have experienced before the new engine was fitted. Sorry it is a long item, but worth reading. Alan VAG DISESEL PARTICULATE FILTERS Courtesy of...

    win a vw split screen camper

    If I won I would defo sell it. Hired a 1979 Bay camper once for a week, loved the camping part of it but the drivability was dangerous, very under powered for today' s road conditions, massive steps in the gear ratio's, gear selection very vague ( this may have been this particular van). I...

    My curiosity led me to some unexpected opinions about the new California. And I had a drive with one.

    Thanks for an excellent post and a great review, better than any others I've read because of your own knowledge of the 6.1 and others

    My curiosity led me to some unexpected opinions about the new California. And I had a drive with one.

    great review thank you! I was talking to a fella in the pub (so needs a fact check) and he reckons that VW went with Ford on this. The T7 is n ow on transit chassis... ? Not sure if it's true, but the news sent a shudder of disappointment in me. Im so happy and impressed with the build quality...

    My curiosity led me to some unexpected opinions about the new California. And I had a drive with one.

    You have convinced yourself that the T7 is for you and that its limitations are not too bad. You will buy one, regret it and sell after 6 months IMO.

    My curiosity led me to some unexpected opinions about the new California. And I had a drive with one.

    Now that the new California is here, curiosity drove me to the dealer in Ostend, Belgium to see one in real life. Which of my opinions do I change and which ones hold up? When we arrived, there were some outside in different colours (I'm a fan of Fortana red and... the white one) and some...
