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,

  • New + Question

    Hey Fellas

    New to this site, currently own a mkIII 1996 vr6 golf.
    Im having an issue with it at the moment, need some help.
    The battery died a short time ago, and i believe my brother tried jump starting it, however i think he placed positive on positive and negative on negative instead of earthing/grounding the black. I hear that this can cause a surge of some kind which can effect the computer.

    The golf will start up fine with another battery however it will cut off/ almost straight away once the engine fires.

    If im right about the computer issue, is there anyway which i can get my hands on a aftermarket/second hand computer? and for how much?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Cheers Matt
