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,

  • G'day, new here

    G'day, first post. Just bought my first VW. It's a 2001 Golf Mk4 2.0 GLE model. Automatic + glass sunroof + central armrest + cruise control, silver in colour with 16" five spoke alloys wearing 205/55-16s.

    I'm totally new to VW having never had anything by this manufacturer before, so I don't know very much at all, hence joining this forum. I hope this turns out to be the right place for an Australian owner of an Australian delivered car to learn a bit.

    Most of my experience is with BMWs. I have three, so I'm not completely new to the German car ownership experience. Just new to VW.

    I've bought this car second hand obviously, and as such it does have some minor little things I would like to fix. With BMW this is fairly easily accomplished via useful websites like realoem.com and CD-ROMs called ETK. I understand there is something similar for VW called ETKA. I guess first off, I need to lay my hands on one of these ETKA discs for identifying the part numbers relevent to my car.

    Is there a free (downloadable) source for a VW ETKA disc image anyone knows about and is willing to share?

    Also, is there an ETKA version that will work under Windows 2000?

    Thanks for any help offered.

      You may be able to source it online with a torrent program (Had a quick look and found some updates had been seeded, but not sure if there were any full versions available from what I saw.)

          Yeah, got it thanks. Took a couple of days being as v7.0 is the full 2GB(!) in size complete with updates. I wasn't expecting it to come with all data for Audi, Skoda & Seat as well!

          It looks pretty comprehensive. Much more involved than the BMW ETK. Mind you the diagrams look much more acurate too. Real world photos instead of line drawings.

          Now that I can get my part numbers, who's the recommended source for VW parts north of river in Perth for prices?
