Welcome to a VW-Tech, the wiki technical archive of the club80-90 website.
IMPORTANT
Please stick to the following naming convention. Feel free to add information to this page and 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. If you have any suggestions please contact me at robertj.green@ntlworld.com 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.

Notices and Bugs
PLEASE READ THE Disclaimer:
- Club 80-90 members are the only ones with editing rights at the moment.
- File:Bug-image2.jpg When saving pages sometimes you might have to click 'save page' several times before you get out of preview mode and the page is actually saved. When in preview mode the page will say "Remember that this is only a preview, and has not yet been saved!" in red at the very top. If you don't keep clicking save page until this disappears then your edit will NOT be retained (sometimes takes 4 or more attempts). I believe this may be due to our internet servers being spread across several machines and you have to have your "save request" dealt with by the machine that you opened your editing session on.
- File:Bug-image2.jpg Some times when posting external links you may need a space between the | and the address, test your links after you have saved them
- Red links are pages that do not yet have information added to them.
