Would be a good time, but you know usually it is like a constant bashing of heads for one person or two nit picks the stuff that is being done..................usually the nitpicker is someone that rarely does his own service work. I say this for I have been in a local VW club that tried this.........it was futile, for the old school people were constantly correcting the teacher of the class about the smallest of things.........

Here's a little thought I had once: When we have our van get togethers (like in the West Coast's case, Hollister), what if we had "technical sessions", where someone or sometwo would pick a maintenence topic to present to a reasonably sized group. I can think of a few subjects: 1) Filling and bleeding the coolant system (Bill Kasper a natural for this) 2) Digifant system - Where everything is located 3) Bypassing sensors in a pinch to keep going. 4) Checking the cooling fans 5) Troubleshooting, cleaning the contacts on the door locks Seems like a fun, informal way for the experts to share some knowledge.
