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 from WA, just got a euro.

    Hi guys.

    Just sold my WRX and have now purchased a 1998 VW Golf, 1.8 CL.
    White in colour, stock as a rock.

    I am very happy with it. It has only done 110K and is manual and in extremely good nick with full service history. It was quite a find and while it may look a little .. white I could not pass up the mechanical qualities of it. Ideally I would have liked a VR6 or a 2.0L but this was so perfect mechanically I just had to buy it there and then.

    So I hope to learn, and perhaps figure out how I am going to make this vw golf look good!. I am really not a fan of the Star type rims that come with it. I will post some pics when I pick it up on monday .

    Perhaps you can all reccomend some modifications to do to improve the looks. It is quite hard to find other white golfs on google images, though there is a few on here that look great.

      Welcome to the forum. There are so many Subaru drivers converting to VW's lately, it's awesome! You'll find the Mk3's are as solid as a rock and the build quality is unparalleled (perhaps only by the Mk4's).

        switched from Subaru because it was a heap of ****.

        maybe not all Subaru's but mine was. Too much can go wrong on a turbo car. They are also very hard to work on because there is no room in engine bay due to the horizontal engine. I wanted something cheaper, and I love Euro's especially vw.

          Huzzah, another wa member!

          It is fairly easy to convert a CL to a VR6 (if your game). In terms of looks, you might want to have a gander at The official mkIII appreciation thread.

          Hope to see you round
