New non-owner....
Hi all. I don't know what to say other than hi. I don't own a New Beetle, I have a MINI Cooper S with the John Cooper Works package, but a good friend of mine just got an '06 Beetle TDI manual. I've been looking over the forums for a few days and this seems like a friendly place. I found the info on "Euro switches", and I thought that was a neat tid-bit to know.
Anyway, I guess I'll drop in from time to time to look for ideas on mods and fixes and technical info. My buddy's wife briefly owned a silver Beetle Turbo S. It was a neat car and a crying shame that it was discontinued. It was peppy and it handled well. I'm pretty sure that we'll want to outfit the TDI with an equivilent suspension before too long. I think the Euro Switch will be the first item that gets attention. Since we're new to VW products being in the fleet, how does a person lay hands on a factory shop manual? Is it paper, or a CD like BMW uses? Any new owner tips for me to pass on to my buddy and his wife? Rawhyde PS If I had the extra cash, I'd snag a new TDI for myself to save on fuel.

For the shop manual, check out the Bentley manuals: http://www.bentleypublishers.com/
I believe you can get paper and/or the CD. The CD is coded so it only installs on one PC at a time if I remember correctly. They may have changed this however.

You've just met the best group of vw folks on the net!
Bentley makes both paper and cd; i'm a paperback kinda guy myself. I'd also say buying a VAGCOM setup (I think You need a CAN-based setup which also works with the older K-LINE Setup that all other MK4 VWs use), it'll save time and trouble when diaging or doing some maint. work to the TDI. BTW: The mini coopers are really cool, I park next to a non-S at work all the time. He and charlie are good friends

My car, too, is "friends" with a MINI Cooper S convertible, in the parking garage at work.
 Welcome to the Org!  You are right about the friendliness here. We are not gonna snub anyone. A friend of the NB, is a friend of ours, owner or not!
