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,

      Thanks Trent. Looking forward to some cruises/meet up's!

      Do you know anywhere in Brisbane i could find a Oil filter to suit the 3.2L V6? I tried repco but they gave me an incorrect one. Looking to get one tomorrow if possible..

        Not too sure about the best place to get the parts from. I'd be hitting up the likes of Jmac on the forum here or Mike Weber at Prestige and Performance (google him) for the filter. Other than that, you can buy directly from the parts department at the local VW stealers. Give them your VIN when you ring them and they can lookup the specific part number. I'd say they would have them in stock as well due to it being a current model car.
        Cheers,
        Trent

          You can't go buying stuff for an 'exotic' motor like the R32 from Repco. Go to a dealer or speak to jmac on the forum.

          Oh and welcome to the forum!

                        Seriously though, what a way to start! The R32 is a beaaaast and will surely be a legend for decades if VW don't do V6 golves any more.

                        Good stuff.
