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,

  • Book - How to keep your VW Rabbit alive



    Don't see these come up too often.

    We've discussed this book before - http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newf...ad.php?t=26357

    Recommended reading for all you MK1 owners, especially if you're new to the scene.

      wasn't me, as I bid it up to about $40 (2 bids) but was not on-line over the w/e so I wasn't around to keep going up...

      anyone know where you can still buy this book??? (John Muir's orig. Air Cooled book was legendary...I still have my hand-me-down copy I got in 1986)

        This book is out of print, it is very rare in OZ, try amazon or ebay USA, they come up occasionally. I found 2 copies from junk market when I was in US 2 years ago

          Its a great book and follows in the same context as the aircooler John Muir books.
          I have one here as I ordered mine in a couple of decades ago. Mine is called "how to keep your Rabbit Scirroco Jetta alive" and is writen by Richard Sealey. Produced by John Muir Publications.
          The sticker on the back of mine shows that I got it from Bookworks, 127 Boundary Rd. Peakhurst NSW
          Excellent reading and amazing artwork to top it all off!

            the artwork in the orig. air-cooled book was worth it alone, esp. for a laugh...

                I bought a copy from the states for about $25 plus $15 shipping, so these are going cheap cheap!. Dont have a MK1, but most likely will in the next few years and its a great read with some awsome illustrations which are pretty damn impressive!
