    Looks weird to me 9/10 times, I'd only use it if I was encouraging someone to use the search function or Google itself.

    Hey guys,

    agree with you on this topic, but i need to go off topic. (this was the only logical thread i could get access to)

    When i go to click on the passat main page or any other like General Discussion or Motorport i get this message:

    The webpage cannot be found
    HTTP 404
    Most likely causes:
    •There might be a typing error in the address.
    •If you clicked on a link, it may be out of date.

    What you can try:
    Retype the address.

    Go back to the previous page.

    Go to and look for the information you want.


    Now obviously i can log on and click on last thread added to on the VWWatercooled Australia main page...but not for the other stuff..

    Hoping someone might know whats up?

    Cheers,

    Jayse.
