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,

    Hi there,
    I own a Mk1 GLI Cabrio, EG engine, matching numbers- currently rebuilding the engine: those heron pistons were expensive!!
    Also own a 1978 GLD

        where did you source the pistons from? whenever i need to get a part i get them from germany or UK at a huge price difference to what places in Aus charge.

          They ended up coming from somewhere in Perth.....We searched everywhere including Germany and the UK (both privately and through VW parts suppliers) and that was the only set we could find..... apparently they are difficult (and expensive) to make because of the bowl in piston design.......
