There are so many aux battery threads. I nominate this one as a good starting point because "McVanagon" created such a simple, clear wiring illustration:

It is that time again.

Post your submission. This time PLEASE add what Bentley section you think it belongs with.

FYI: I want to split the list up into Bentley sections.

NOTE: I have a new list stored locally on my machine. *IF* some one has the time to sort it into Bentley sections I would be very happy about that. PM me in regards to that task.

TIA,
Walt...

I didn't see it in the list, but I could've overlooked it:

Hot-foot Syndrome & how to combat it: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=237271 .

I'd look for it in the HVAC section, but Bentley has the "hot footwell kit" listed in the cooling section.

The Best Threads (FAQ) has been updated again.

1. There are some bad links that need fixing. I need help with this.

2. Please review the list and threads. There are a LOT and are all believed to be good ones.

3. If there is a thread you think is deserving to be added, let us know about it, please.

Updating the FAQ again. Work in progress.

Got any favorites that need adding?

I might have it in my list to add already, though.

Threads with LOTS of pictures seem to be the best.

What do you got?

This one is awesome - has a fantastic brake line diagram and parts-needed list for replacing all your brake lines.
