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 all. Was alerted to this site by my local VW mechanic this morning. I own a 2005 SWB transporter with a 2.5turbo and 6 speed Auto. Its silver in colour See a story I did on my ride here on youtube

    YouTube - &#x202a;T5 VW Transporter with Gas Lift Bed and Rear Seat&#x202c;&rlm;

    Its currently (as of yesterday) missing a wheel trim. Anyone know where I could get a second hand one?

    Hope to talk to a few of you in the future

    cheers

      Thanks Fox Puppet.
      Hope you are enjoying your van as much as I do. I go surfing every day and the guys I take love it. its powerful, roomy and cheap on fuel. We call my van "the Big Girls Blouse". due to its rego plate. See the you tube video.

      cheers Tewbacca

          Less than 24 hours to pick up time Foxpuppet. Nice!!. You wont be sleeping much tonight I dont think. I've already done the fit out that I want for my van. I used it for 7 weeks on a surfing trip up the east coast from Hobart to Byron Bay and return. I dont know if you've seen my van in the you tube video I posted above. Made it with the help of my son from parts sourced from the local tip shop. The expensive bit was the memory foam mattress. Had that especially made and it cost over a 1000 bucks. Worth every penny. Stops all the nagging from the bride that she couldn't possibly go away in that 'cause its uncomfortable.
