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,

    Hey Dude,

    Welcome to the forum, mk6 GTI great car love mine too

    If you're getting the oil leak looked at, make sure to check the water pump and timing chain tensioner.

    Both super common faults, oil leaks onto the waterpump gasket so its known to go to ****.

    And the timing chain tensioner is a big one, depending on your model year it could be the older revision which is prone to let go causing 10k plus worth of engine repairs. Lots of info in the forums about it so have a read through.
