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,

  • NSW Optima battery group buy

    I'll quote it from my subforum on another site:

    As requested I have arranged a deal with Optima. I can offer the D34 yellow top battery for $290 including GST and shipping to most parts of Australia (let me know before you buy and I can check to make sure I don't have to charge you more). In order for me to arrange this great deal I need to order NO LESS THAN 20. Post up any questions you might have but this is a one time offer. I will be offering up specials on my other gear as well to encourage you to add more items to take advantage of the reduced shipping cost of bundling items.

    If you have any questions please let me know!

    Oh, and by the way, they don't have to all be the D34, it can be a combination of other Optima Batteries too!

    I'm over half way so please get a move on if your interested. If you have any questions I'm happy to answer them.

        $395 is the current retail. Some places do sell them for a bit more though.

            Sure, the sooner the better because the second I get 20 I need to place the order. I have a couple guys who need them asap.

              Great batteries these - had one in my MY02 Liberty, and it never failed - I ended up jump starting about a dozen cars down a the snow once when everyone else's batteries froze up but the Optima wasn't fazed at all.

              I might get myself down for two - one for the Bora, another for the Outback. Just need to sort out what size each of them take...
              Nothing to see here...

                        Not much difference between the yellow and blue top, the blue top has the extra termianls and is designed to take the rocking motion of the boat.

                        Im down for a yellow top.

                        Just did a bit of research, these go for about $400 esay. Mates rates at Autobarn is about $360.

                            A newbie question here..

                            From reading the previous posts, it seems like this battery is just more reliable and better quality than you 'ordinary' battery... is this the case? or are there other benefits i am not aware of.

                            cheers,

                              More power, no maintinance, its sealed, better quality, can take a bit of a bashing. Google it and you will find more info.

                              The only battery i can think of that is better than optima is Kinetik and they dont sell them anywhere out of the US.
