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,

  • Sydney Dyno Day Results 21.04.07

    Hi All,

    After some eventual sleep and with the help from mikinoz - here are the results of the Sydney Dyno Day.



    Would really like to thank Seb for organising such a great event..!!

    Without him taking the initiative to get the Dyno Day off the ground, I and the thirty nine other cars would not have been able to dyno our cars collectively and most importantly for the people that turned up to able to just simply enjoy a day where all could meet up and have a good old chin wag.

    Thanks to Pierre and Marko as well - otherwise NO one would have eaten a thing.

    Thanks to Seph - without him writing down the numbers we wouldn't be able to see any numbers for the entire day.

    There's a bunch of others as well that made things go as smoothly as possible, like Ash (we wouldn't of had any cold drinks otherwise), Holly (the dog, to provide some light entertainment hahaha).

    For whatever reason, I was somehow appointed as the the event liason officer so most of the day was me running around like a headless chook

    I personally had a great time - it was a pleasure to meet and chat with fellow like minded VAG nutters..!!
    I had never dyno'd my car or even seen someone dyno their own car.
    So to see 40 of them was so cool - especially with the large majority of them representing the VAG banner (there were two that were non VAG - let us not speak about this any further LOL)

    It felt like the VW Nationals after party..!! hahahaha
    There were that many people...!!

    I drove home feeling like a sack of potatoes (I was absolutely buggered), my car smelling like freshly baked bread rolls and with a taste of petrol in my mouth, but I couldn't help but feel very happy and pleased that I was part of the VW watercooled community.

    Cheers to all that turned up - I had a blast..!!!!!!

    Hope to do it ALL over again (not for a while though hey, feet and back need to recover..!!)

    PS: Sorry if I have spelt some peoples names incorrectly - AND I may have got some numbers wrong - I'm still very much sleep deprived..

    There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it

                    Todd from Mainline Dyno's used a MDX Dyno Machine (quite accurate compared to dyno dynamics in my opinion).

                    3rd gear was for manuals and i think 3rd or 4th for the auto/dsgs.

                    gpk, have you run your car up yet?

                          you might find that it needs to adapt/run in for 60-100kms before being noticed as well.

                          take it back to Todd for another run sometime soon or Crescent Motors @ liverpool, both use mdx's .. im sure you'll notice the improvement

                              Hey gpk_gti,

                              No need to be sorry - I was a dyno virgin until Saturday...hahaha

                              I had a chat with Todd and I only remember him saying for cars with 5 gears it was a 3rd gear pull, and cars with 6 gears it was a 4th gear pull.

                              I can't if this was changed for cars with the DSG.

                              Hope that helps.
