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 from Newbie

    Hi all This is my first post.. I have a o8 GTI Pirelli in black
    I also own a 65 split screen Kombi I have only ever owned VW's (32yrs) and sold my 65 bug for the Pirelli, I still cant get over the technology in this car and really enjoy driving it so much I am driving it to canberra tomorrow
    The only drawback is the front tyres (pzeros) have to be replaced very very soon and I have only done 11k they will be $480 each to replace
    Cheers

    Welcome to the forum.

    Shame about the tyres, no point in getting it chipped, seems like you already have a lead foot

    Cheers

      Welcome to the forum. If you use the search function you may be able to locate some tyre deals or just info.

        No so much of a lead foot, I will blame the soft compound of the tyres 92Y

          The P Zero Neros are very soft, i've got some on my car, grippy as hell though.

          Alot of people are getting their tyres from the US recently, from www.tirerack.com the savings are huge even after shipping, and they don't take long to arrive.

          Theres a thread about it here http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newf...ad.php?t=39174

          Welcome aboard anyway, i'd love to see pics of the splitty...
