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,

    Hmm, I had this too, just thought it was getting out of boost, but given I was going back to 3rd it shouldn't have been. Will look into this - thanks Ben.

        Anyway here it is,


        I noticed in the first part of this video, when I go past my car sounds like a jet from the massive whine my transmission makes haha.
        Good to hear the action from the outside. That's some serious whine from the DS3. Awesome sight with so many VW (and euro's) out there, almost want to watch it from the side line. Turn 3 and 4 are prime examples of slow in, fast out.

                Nice vid man! Did I hear you say "that was close" at 4:50?

                That sure was an impressive spin at 5:10. You did a good job at getting out of the way

                • Haha thanks mate. I was trying to hang on (to the two golfs that past me) into the corner but the back end was doing a better job at it than the front was....

                  As for the comentary, I didn't know the camera was recording audio as well. I'll try to shut up next time.

                    Haha no worries about the commentary, I thought it was kind of funny because you said it the corner before spinning out .

                    I think i said woohoo and "need moar powahhhhh" or something like that a few times in my video. The engine sounds fantastic in your car, very raw sounding.

                        OMG - that is entertainment; I think the next best thing besides driving around the track would be to go shotgun in the Pug!! I've got sore cheeks and belly from laughing at some of the commentry - especially when you express your obvious displeasure at going into corners too hot, lol +. Agree with Rhys, the soundtrack from the engine is great - reminds me a little of the BDA Escorts.

                        Thanks for the vid!
