85 VW Cabriolet Forums ????
 

I have Friend who purchased a 85 VW cabriolet for nothing. He is in need for a good forum to help work through some issues, I recommended the samba.com. Are there others that are good to look through?

I don't know much about these cars. There are many similarities with the Bosch systems. He's wrestling a bag of snakes on this as far as getting it started. I am guessing that there must be a good forum for this car. Any suggestions?

There is good info on the Vortex.... Just be prepared to deal with the Dbags.

Thanks ! I will pass it along

The dbags are always a constant force. they seem to be a constant force everywhere.

They may be constant... But there are more of them on the Vortex...

I frequent vwvortex......but only via the search button......I never EVER post there LOL
There's lots of good info hidden among the trash :D

I have a good friend from highschool/college/Army that just dug his old cabrio from college out of storage (been sitting for about 20 years in his in-laws barn). He is looking to revive it. Back then, four of us had cobbed up rabbits that we tooled around campus in. We also did some autocrossing in them. Good memories.

With a quick search, I found this forum that I am going to forward to him. Have not spent too much time reading posts, but it appears somewhat useful for troubleshooting various issues with these old rabbits. The152 » Forums » MK1 Rabbit Convertible - Cabriolet

This is a companion site and has some great tutorials, specs, how-to's etc. http://www.mk1vw.info/

I still have a hankering for a Mk1 GTi. They are just so simple, yet fun....

had one. really a fun car to drive. like a real fast old mini cooper.

Don't say that!

had two mk1's (rabbit pickups) and a number of mk2's (7 gti/jetta/gli's)...kinda miss them sometimes. Lots of info on the 'tex, but when they expanded to a million different sub forums it made it hard to find stuff sometimes.

if your friend hasn't already bought one, he needs a bentley manual. the vw ones are significantly cheaper than the Porsche ones!

Great thanks for the help I have passed it along.

The forum makes my p-car ownership much better.

How about a 911 Cabriolet Forum (1983+)???

Just a bit bias :):D:)
