I'll jump in and help, I have this site open constantly so why not.
Hard to judge how useful some of this stuff is or has been, maybe go by read counts?
A lot of these FAQs are just links posted to websites or calculators that can be found very easily with a simple Google search.
Most of them are in the top 5 results on a vague Google search in fact.
A lot of dead links, herpa derp info, no info, redundant info, oh boy.
I'm starting with the oldest last post date.

2004:Topic: Cross Referencing Part #s online (Read 3478 times)
http://www.vwdiesel.net/forum/index.php?topic=647.0It's just a link to an import parts website...
There are a hundred sites out there now with this same info and pics/ETKA diagrams to go along with them.
Only viewed 3k times in 10 years?? Hmm...

http://www.vwdiesel.net/forum/index.php?topic=3694.0Nothing special here...just some basic Google features and some links that go to posts in the General section that lead to these two sites.
http://www.mayfco.com/comprato.htm http://www.csgnetwork.com/compcalc.html All I see there are a few very basic formulas on one and a calculator for determining compression ratio.
The CR calculator pops up as first result on Google for any search related to calculating compression ratio.

Topic: Lack of Boost Trouble Shooting. (Read 4115 times)
http://www.vwdiesel.net/forum/index.php?topic=4348.0A long wall of text with poor formatting about checking for boost leaks that basically says you should feel around with your hand, or tap multiple pressure gauges and look for differences.
I'm not a fan of this, there are tons of videos and better, well written articles about boost leaks with a simple search on Google/etc.

Topic: DIY brake pressure bleeder (Read 2673 times)
http://www.vwdiesel.net/forum/index.php?topic=4695.0One post with one link to a DIY bleeder, not a very good DIY guide at that.
Anyone can type in "brake bleeder" or "pressure bleeder" into search engine and have videos, DIY's of the same thing come up in the first 3 results.
This is nothing special and has nothing to do with VW diesels.

http://www.vwdiesel.net/forum/index.php?topic=749.0This is actually pretty cool, another little forum on the Bentley Publishers website. Not much traffic it looks like, but there is def some info there.
Also some discussion on how to find/download pirated software and scans of manuals off Pirate Bay.
Not sure how to handle this one, kind of cool, kind of meh.

http://www.vwdiesel.net/forum/index.php?topic=6326.0A link to 4crawlers site and a few other posts with links to various old,outdated sites with no real useful info.
4crawlers site is very good and a good resource, but it should be listed in some updated "Good links" sort of sticky maybe.
I vote delete.

Kick ass technical information. Tons of turbo maps, SWEET!!!
http://www.vwdiesel.net/forum/index.php?topic=7069.0A dead link to
http://not2fast.wryday.com/, however
http://www.not2fast.com/ works fine.
A cool site with lots of info sure but none really pertaining to diesel.
Maybe a "cool links" sort of post, but not anything FAQ related or worthy to me.
