I have been here since early 2006 when I bought a new Polo GTI (which incidentally was my 6th VW). 11 more VWs since then and currently have 8 in the family (TSI Amarok the oldest at 11 years of ownership since new) .... bit tragic really. But loving it, as I am always doing something on 1 of them.
This past weekend, I did some work on my Golf R. Fitted alloy front control arms, an aluminium sump was fitted as well, upgraded (colder) NGK spark plugs went in along with a full service completed. It's still my favourite VW ever.

I've been around a while, 19 or so years, but really slowed down since 2013 when I let go of all my MK1.
This used to be a real big part of my life but things changed and it is not something I have time to spend on but appreciate everyone and have made some really good mates from here too.
I joined in 2008.
I had a 2003 V6 4Motion Bora at that stage. Sold that a few years later (2011 or so?), bought a MY09 4Gen Liberty GT Spec.B as the family grew and outgrew the Bora (ngl, I miss the Bora still).
Last year I landed myself in an MY22 Audi A4 45TFSI Quattro. Looking at an S4 Avant now.
Internet Forums seem to be dying, replaced by Facebook, Reddit, etc...
Nothing to see here...
I joined the forum in '06, just after buying my new Mk5 Golf in Dec '05 that I still own today. My first VW ownership was
a 1958 beetle [The first with the big back window] that I purchased in late '61 for around 500 pounds.
I will be 81 years in a few days time with still a strong interest in VAG cars & vans. I wonder if there is anyone older than
me on here.
Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.
