Title: Hot VWs Tech Tips help
Post by: Straight Time on April 08, 2020, 19:19:41 pm
Anyone able to help.

I used to look at the Tech Tips on Hot VWs website regularly, but since it all changed they seem to have gone.
Anyone know if all the ones online were also published in the mag.

I'm particularly interested in a copy of the "Precision door alignment basics" and also the "Custom battery install" articles.

If they were in print, anyone know the issues?

Many thanks

I found the archived articles online if that helps?


Precision Door Alignment Basics

The Internet Archive is really useful for this sort of thing, but I'm not very good at searching it. Here's my method for finding these pages, just in case that helps anyone:

a) I got lucky and found the door alignment article link in my email (I remembered chatting it over with my brother two tears ago). You can then search Internet Archive with the URL and find the archived page above.

b) Googled for 'hotvws custom battery install' found someone had posted a link on Pinterest. So I copied the URL and searched Internet Archive.


Finding an archived index page to the tech articles would be useful!
