Hi everyone!
I just moved from SK to Calgary AB.  If any of you need to borrow vw diesel specialty tools, compression testers, etc.  Let me know!  I live in the NE near the airport.

Cheers!

There is a Calgary VW club online somewhere, I have seen it.  Maybe somebody can think of the URL?  They have some sort of a deal set up with a tire distributor too, you get the fleet rate on purchases.

I have read a lot more then I have posted so far, mostly because I had so much to learn, and there are so many people on here with way more knowledge.  I have some non vw tools that I have got, and one or two that I have made.  I live close to the airport as well, 64th ave and 4st NW and have two VW's at the moment one working, one not.  One of them is on WVO as well, so it always makes things interesting.  Welcome to Calgary, enjoy the weather as it changes sometimes nightly, and no PST.
