Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • VIC 2008 (MY09) Golf GT Sport TDI (Stage 2+)

    So it’s finally time to move on to another car, I have spent too much on this one and would like some change. This car has been a lot of fun and has been looked after well, there are some issues however you will also be buying a car that has had so much replaced it’s almost new…..

    This car has a lot of potential, and is ready for the next level. It’s quick for a diesel (230bhp), sounds great, and handles extremely well (and looks the part too), not to mention you can get it down to 3.8L/100KM freeway driving (I’ve gotten over 1000km from tanks before).

    Info:
    - DSG
    - Graphite Blue
    - 160,000KM
    - Heated leather seats
    - Rego expiry August 2018
    - Will provide RWC

    Recent purchases:
    - Brand new steering rack and end links
    - New lower balls joints
    - New lower control arms and all bushings
    - New engine and transmission mounts
    - New upper strut mounts and bearings
    - New wheel bearings
    - New CV joints
    - New DMF and starter motor

    Cosmetic:
    - GTI Front lip and side skirts
    - R32 steering wheel with paddle shifters
    - RNS510 with amp wiring to the boot for a sub, etc
    - Bluetooth and GPS module
    - GT Steel insets for the seats
    - GTC-GX 18x8.5 Wheels
    - Interior LED kit from Supernovaleds
    - LED Headlight bulbs
    - Painted break callipers (blue)
    - Rolled front guards
    - Feynlab paint protection and water repellant treatment applied, should last a few years, makes it very easy to wash

    Performance:
    - Darkside Developments Downpipe and EGR kit
    - 42DD Velocity Stack Intake (makes woosh and flutter noises)
    - Milltek catback exhaust
    - Prosport boost gauge in OSIR vent pod
    - Bilstein B14 Height Adjustable Coilover Kit
    - Whiteline rear adjustable sway bar
    - Stage 2+ & DSG Tune by 3BAR (230+ BHP)

    The bad…
    - With the current power output, certain diesel fill ups can cause a stutter under heavy acceleration, still unsure of the issue, could be fuelling or injectors
    - There is a vibration when turning hard and fast to the right, I have replaced almost everything I can to try and find it, but still have not been able to find it.

    Price: 10,000

        If I didn’t already own one as well. ( same colour as mine 🤘🏻 ) I’d buy as well. That’s a very cool GT with only a few minor hiccups and some VERY expensive mods

          FYI my gt is modded very smiliar as yours. I also had a fuel studder under hard acceleration. Was a simple fix. The pre fuel filter attached to the internal fuel pump (inside tank) was clogged. Thought I’d share as it was a really simple fix. Was bloody annoying, hope it helps

              Unfortunately it's too much effort for me to part that out

                Put a new pre filter screen on. Remove back seat , open fuel pump access. Replace screen. Simple.
