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,

  • Hello vdubbers

    Its been a while in the making but I have finally got my first VW. Our family is kinda known for driving Vw's, my dad and his dad, my dads brothers, this could go on forever. More to the point i'll tell you what i have, its a 1975 TS Passat and boy is a she a ripper! Bought it off my cousin actually who bought it off this guy who likes to restore stuff. Its still a work in progress at the moment, this is it so far;

    Eng - 1.8L from a mk3, running the original solex though just found where i can get a 34mm downdraft, dual throat
    Tint - 15% black all round
    Rims - stock at the moment but hopefully some 15"s from sydney very soon!
    Audio - just a basic CD player at the moment but there are some plans for the future.

    Its a start, but all i can see is potential and I love the thing to bits.

    As for me, i'm an apprentice mechanic at a 4x4 dealership. Bit of a musician. I love to help out, be involved and play around with interesting stuff.
