Club 80-90 Wiki History
Started in around 2005 after we moved from an older bulletin board that had been outgrown by the size of the club. A group of long standing club members decided to retain some of the helpful information on the technical pages that would otherwise get lost as the forum was pruned from time to time. Some of the information is basic vehicle mechanics for those that are just starting out. Some is advanced that you will need an extensive toolset to achieve. Some of it you could find in a Hayne's or Bentley manual and sometimes there are fixes that have not been documented and issues that VW had no repair as these vehicles have long since lasted beyond the working life that VW intended them to achieve. This is a collection of postings on 80-90 over the years and has grown to quite a size, some by professional mechanics and some by novices and all levels of knowledge in between. Ultimately it is to be used along side other forums and manuals to give you another viewpoint on how to solve or fix a problem, but usually with a real persons perspective and photographs to help out. It is not meant to be gospel and it is a living work in progress, articles and advice may change as knowledge grows over time. It may be contradictory in parts as different people have different ideas on the best way to perform a procedure. You may need to use some gut instinct and common sense to tell you which way to proceed, there may be a way to do something which hasn't been thought of, or they may be incorrect information which is out of date. The two main wiki editors are HarryMann and Hacksawbob (usernames on Club 80-90) Send a private message to them if you spot something that needs changing. If you have something to add write it up in the Club 80-90 Technical section in the appropriate section and PM an editor to make them aware of it.
Please stick to the following naming convention. Feel free to add information to the pages you create but please don't alter the section headings as this will have a knock on effect on the naming scheme. It will help subsequent people to add information and will avoid accidental page overwriting or duplication. Please PM Hacksawbob or HarryMann if you have any questions or suggestions. I appreciate that there will be some overlap between sections, and equally a topic that could appear in several sections, enter your information in the section that you think is most appropriate, it can then be linked to from other pages. Don't enter into discussion on the WIKI, that is for the forum, try and keep the information here as definative an concise as possible. The WIKI is for answers not questions. If you need clarification then try and contact the poster directly or start a new thread on the technical forum.

Notices and Bugs
PLEASE READ THE Disclaimer:
- Some club 80-90 members are the only ones with editing rights. Please PM HarryMann if you are a seasoned Wiki editor with valuable T3/T25 content to add. Particularly we are looking for those with experience of the early aircooleds, esepcially the carburrettion, ignition and tuning aspects.
- Red links are pages that do not yet have information added to them (or whose pages have become orphaned, either due to typos in the internal links, or other reasons)
- Please - Add your name at the beginning of the section you are adding! A good way is to format it as below, including a brief summary - adding a single space at the beginning turns it into a caption (repetitive saves seem to destroy that though)
e.g. Name: Brief summary of what has been added below (and possibly why its important)
- Please reference your source if what you are posting is not your own. Ask permission first if there is copyright on it, and if it is from another website please put the link to the original URL.
