This also includes detailing, washing and waxing of our cars! WHats the best way to make the car look fabulous? Tell us your secrets!!!

Some guidelines for articles -

Thanks for helping everyone!!!!!

Lets not forget the tech section folks --- I NEED ARTICLES!!!!!!!

:) HELP!!!!!!!


This is a real important part of the site folks. The more we have - the more members we can draw and keep - and that means vendors wil be more interested and I'll be able to negotiate better deals for you all -- so HELP!!!!!!!!! :)

I'll get around to my first TECH article sooner or later. I promise you'll get a copy of it. It'll be for running the air suspension on a Mark VII. Hopefully I'll get it done by the end of summer time. :rolleyes:

Since I've had some trouble with the trunk alignment on my Mark VIII, you can count on me for an article on how to adjust that.

thanks guys -- anyone else?

I'm new here, but would like to see your tech section with a search engine for each do-it-yourself repair or upgrade project. E.g. like the fuel pump replacement job nicely done with pictures and submitted by members. Some of the owners are excellent mechanics.
Click
p.s. still looking for an answer to my question, namely, 'should' i be able to hear the fuel pump on a Mk8 by listening at the fuel tank filler for example.?

I have something that was helpful to know in a pinch. The pins that read the VATS resistor in the key go bad in my 89 Seville. It's not the reader it just the contact in the ignition cylinder that get worn. I could explain how to get your car started to get it home.

That is a good idea. But right now I don't think it is big enough to warrant a need for a search. Maybe it will be more applicable if the section gets large enough that you can't quickly read all the titles.
