I think Erin has a good point,
 
       We all now take the www for granted now. Casually browsing thru we dont 
remember days only a few years ago when VW knowledge could only be tapped from 
book/mags or local eccentric old timers who talked only after a lot of 
pampering.
 
       I remember my brother (Suleman aka Suley)  joining the list.....I think 
this was in the early or mid nineties. I have no idea how he came to know of 
this list. I do remember him asking questions and then relaying all the 
showered wisdom via letters (good old snail mail) or on the phone. Back then he 
was studying in a city far from our home town. Still have his old letters, one 
of which describes in detail how to deal with a broken clutch pedal cable hook. 
Helped me come out of the lurch I was in after the pedal went free in the 
driveway.
 
Best regards to all,
 
Asad.
Karachi, Pakistan.
