If you have a VW, then you'll feel my pain. Here's a site where you can post your problems (if they haven't already been posted) and find answers to questions, AND generally comiserate - if you have a VW, you'll most likely need to.
VWVortex.com is the hands down most informative site for new VW owners, really. If you utilize the search function, you can find absolutely anything and everything relating to your car, how to fix it, etc.
BannedVW.com is another site..but it is not yet even close to the level of Vortex.
