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,

  • Born agian GTI owner

    Hey Guys,

    After being out of the GTI scene for 14 yrs i'm finally back,wahey!! I've just bought myself a 91 bigbumper GTI 8v. Needs a bit of TLC. Which brings me on to a few questions for you experts on here. It is a 3 spd auto & doesn't seem to have half the power my old manual one did. Are these under powered anyway or is there a prob somewhere? I have already changed the oil, filter, plugs & have ordered dizzy cap, rotor & leads. I have checked all vacuum hoses/ pipes to & from air inlet & injection system But up till now nothings really improved. I have also tried the O2 sensor but that seems ok. Surely these autos should have some go to them?? Anybody got anymore ideas?? Also looking for somewhere that does a few subtle accessories for it. One last thing, what is the best size wheels to buy & what are the golfs offsets?
    Sorry for all the questions but I just want to get my ride running bute.
    Cheers guys
    Phil
