Just wanted to say thanks to some of the few that make this site as great as it is. Like YMZ (Yuri), chitty, seatman, KeithUK and others that add so much value. I'm sure I can speek for many as I notice alot of us newbies are buying these TDIs mainly because of the great reputation they have and the simple fact that fuel prices are going through the roof. Then comes the reality check when we find these TDI sites and start reading to learn about these TDIs and how to take care of our new to us investment and the 1st thought that goes through our minds is "what the _____ did I get myself into".
What made me most comfortable about this site and which helped me and I see alot of others is the quick responses to the questions we have to get us going again and the things we need to do to keep the these great car going. I know we newbies sometimes beat a dead horse with the samethings that has been discussed to death but these questions are unique to us and none of you make us feel stupid for asking it again or get pissed.
My advice to any newbie that asked the same question as I have "what the _____ did I get myself into" and don't lie because we all have, is to listen to these guys, they know what they are talking about and follow the Faq. instructions to the T as I did when I did my EGR/intake cleaning and timing belt change which both went flawless and there is no way I could have done it without this site and support. Now I'm proud of what I got myself into. As its been said before "maintenance-maintenance and drive more-worry less". There is nothing out there that does not require maintenance even the brand new.
Keep up the good work and as we learn we can also add value to the future newbies to come. :thumbsup
