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,

    Just something to keep in mind that there is quite a big difference in the 132TSI and 162TSI engines.

    If you're looking at any performance modifications you'll want to get the 162TSI as there's a wide range of parts available for these engines. It is the same engine used in Mk7 GTI and also a lot of Mk7 R parts will also fit so you can pretty much go to the parts catalog and go nuts.

    The 132TSI is very much the poor cousin. There's only a JB4 tuning box you can get. People buy the 132TSI because it's the sensible choice and that's about where it ends.
