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.

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.

      A bit more information may help in terms of what modifications have been made (ie. what combination/coil overs etc) on the car - and have you considered getting the car certified at a lower height, or going to a different inspection station?

      Post up some more details and we can give better advice.

      Cheers, Mick.

          Pull a wheel off, see if there's an adjustment thingy fitted, you might be able to raise it straight away. Otherwise, take it to another testing place, some people are more picky than others.

            I've been wondering when i'd see that beast on the forum! i have driven past it a few times now, and i must say it is sexy but sump bustingly low thats for sure!! have a chat to Vwjunkie, and maybe check out Ozedition.org and talk to benny, that site is mainly tasmanian golf enthusiasts.. even if you borrowed the shocks from someone for a day you'd be right.. but yeah. check em out!!
