They've always had minimal if not existent support.
I hope it's back up also... lots of great info there.

Ev's like all VW people.... if you see someone broke down on the side of the road, you stop and ask if they need help.

I posted about this on the HBBOffroad forum the same day, Thursday, since I post on both offroad forums, there and here, but don't surf ALL of the permutations in here or there. That thread has been locked.
It's been far too long for maintenance and updating. Something is definitely very wrong over there on Shop Talk Forums. I'm worried about the owner of the Shop Talk Forums. I hope Doc is not having major health issues or worse.

This is what I was thing too. Somethings definitely wrong for regular maintenance to be taking this long. I sure hope STF don't disappear. |

I'm glad it's back. However now it looks like a web page for a coffee and espresso shop rather than a VW forum.
