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,

    Hi Everyone!

    I just recently purchased a 2006 Mk5 Golf GTI and I love it to death!

    Looking forward to meeting other Mk5 Golf GTI owners and getting advice from you.

    Cheers,

                thanks for that mischa. i'll check out the meets page in a sec. i'm quite happy with my car and don't plan on any mods at this stage. although i've seen on the internet on some bodykits, they're pretty hot. thinking of getting 18s r32 replica rims. other than that, that's pretty much it.

                did you mod yours?

                  i've got a GT diesel but yes... many mods planned and a few already done

                  most common and best bang for buck mod on your gti is to have it "chipped" (ie its computer remapped). for about 1500$ power goes from 147kw to about 190kw.

                            Hey voxy_girl, welcome aboard.

                            Nice dub to begin with and don't you worry, you'll catch the mod bug soon

                            Looking forward to pics of the car!

                              Thanks Mrk_Mickey. This car is what I've wanted for a while and I've finally got it. Couldn't afford to get a R32 Mk6 but the Golf GTI is still a really good car.

                              The mod bug ay? Only if I ever get the money for it.

                              Did you chip your car? I think I'll be scared if my car ended up being 190kw. I'm used to 147kw power from when I used to own a Nissan 200sx S15. But we'll see maybe one day I'd love to have more power!!! hehe.
