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,

    hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    i dont know...

    thing is, they're so cheap!

    but new clutch is here and going in soon, so NVH is going to be down the shtter.

    and 14 inch wheels, no matter how cheap, will just tempt me to put some a048's on them. im hopeless.

      Get that polyureathane torque arm bush swapped back to stock and also put the stock lower control arm rear bushes changed back to stock from polyureathane - I've found both (well, solid rubber lower control arm rear bushes in my case) make the PoD unpleasant below 1300rpm and VERY unpleasant below 1000rpm.

      I have a solution in the works that will allow these to be easily stiffened when required.

      Fit some reasonable 175/70R14 tyres to the rims and then fit A048Rs to the 15's
