Welcome to DIYNexus.com!

Our goal is to be your one-stop site for watercooled VW D.I.Y. information.

We are here to help the Volkswagen community learn about projects, share their knowledge, and improve their cars.

Since we're a brand-new site, we're adding content as fast as we can. Check back often to see what's new. If you'd like to submit a D.I.Y. guide to help the community, check out the Submissions section on the Contact Us page.

Already know what generation your car is? Click on D.I.Y. Guides in the left menu to see our info. To get help figuring out your car's generation, check out the Vehicle Identification section.

If you notice anything that's unclear, or (gasp!) incorrect, please let us know in the forums; our goal is to provide the most accurate information possible.

Thanks! DIYNexusAdmin
