    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Okay folks....I'm bored near death...Need to liven up this forum.
It's off-topic...but I have your attention now...
I'll confess, one of my other 'addictions' is air-cooled VW's...
Read this thread...

Now let's hear some 'Shop Horror Stories"...preferably (but not necessarily) GS-related...
I got a strong stomach...
Bring'em on...

Ted
 
Hmm. Maybe some to come, I inherited a sandrail that needs a new engine/tranny. I will likely buy a basic one and begin powering it up. With my unfamiliarity with VW engines, it should be one long horror story... :twisted:
 
Ted; I am the owner of a 1980 Wetfalia (2.0L aircooled) and so far the only horror stories have been monetary as I try to sort out the engine. This winter is crunch time: seems like a complete rebuild is in order. It's a bit of a quandary; if I sell it as is, I'll get very little. If I sell it with a rebuilt engine, I'll do much better $-wise but then I could keep it...(the horror begins...)
If I need any words of wisdom on VW aircooled, look out for my posts in the OffTopic!
