Welcome! The superbeetle is a cool car. You'll find the 2006 much more comfortable but it has its issues as well. Check out the new owner's checklist and buying guide in the FAQ section. The camshaft is a good thing to check before doing the TB. I rent the VW special tools as well, send PM if interested.

New to this forum and in need of info for finding the super secret PIN/SKC for my car.
4 year member of Fred's TDI Club and in the middle of an engine build on my '06 Jetta. Switching from one tuner to another and had to have the ECU completely redone (thanks Rocket Chip, not!) and am trying to get the adaptations done to kill some of the dash lights.
Hope the info I seek is here.

Welcome! If you really want to get rid of the immobilizer (how often do cars get stolen where you are), see if rocketchip can do it. I don't know if they offer this service do they?
Hi everyone. Proud owner of my third TDI and it is in desperate need of a timing belt. Read the article on removal of the belt and am interested in reading on. So here is my first post. Up to now I have always relied on the "mark and pray" method with good results. Well now I am older and wiser and now am taking care of two A5 TDI's. So I figured I try the "proper" method. Hats off to who wrote it up in the FAQ section.

It's mostly my work but there is some good input and tips from others. If you learn anything, please post a follow up, this website info is updated upon request. I also rent the special tools if interested, send a PM.
