Yes, let's have a post by someone who will not feel the need to "unshare" his information.

And one slight correction. It is www.stopshopanddrive.com.

I noticed that the $10 DIY Tiptronic Fluid Tool post has been "edited", too. http://www.passatworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=174429

 

Thats dave for you.

 

WHAT the HELL?!?!? Since when have non-moderators been able to fuck with the Info Forum?!?!? What a bunch of shit. That's not right, I'll look into it. :thumbdown :thumbdown

 

That's at least two non-moderator Info Forum changes I've seen.

Seems that the recent "face-lift" to the text editor box & adding the "autocomplete" feature on the username search box also came with some other bonus features...

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Tom -- great post! :thumbup:

 

Thanks Tom!!

Don

 

Thats dave for you.

Maybe he copyrighted it and passatworld didn't renew?

Damn. Thanks Turbo!!!

One of only two stickies in the Info Forum no less! There may be some reasonable explanation. Maybe he was concerned that so many people were using his valuable information that somebody may try to assert a liability claim against him for a defective part or a dispute with one of the listed suppliers.:lol:

 

good stuff Tom P and turbo... let me add www.tirerack.com to the mix, good prices and decent selection. perhaps also www.parts4euro.com for lighting, accessory type stuff... oh and www.levelten.com for tranny upgrades

 

Oh and for tools

http://www.metalnerd.com (custom specialty VW tools - they make some cool stuff)
http://www.harborfreight.com (good for things like the rear piston retraction tool and lightweight aluminum jack)
http://www.obdtool.com (supplier of OBDII cables)
http://www.ross-tech.com (THE place to buy vagcom software and cables - the real deal)

For basic handtools for the shadetree/home mechanic, most often Craftsman tools are probably fine and have a lifetime warranty and since everyone knows them, I didn't bother to list them.

Hey baby ...how you doin'?













Holy crap ...it's a man!

(Oh yeah, Richie, I'll be hitting you up by year-end or so for those Phaeton pedals. Things got interesting the last few weeks and I haven't been able to do any shopping.)

 

So the Info Forum has been returned to its original state of only Moderators able to mess it up. It had been set to "edit own posts" so that authors could revise links, update text, etc. as-necessary. Guess we won't do that again...

Dave, if you're reading this, a big thumbs down. I thought a lot better of you.

Are you going to delete all your posts?oke:

 

Eh - if he didn't want to leave the info no biggie. I don't know why he wouldn't but hey everyone has their own motivation so no point in worrying about it now.

I can't imagine that we can't put together a pretty comprehensive list anyway. I'd say all it is really going to take is someone with the time to take what's been posted thus far and complile the list. Then leave the thread open on here so that once its done, a mod can occassionally update it (since the original poster won't be able to once its moved to the Info forum)

Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
