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,

        Post up a link.

        You'll definitely appreciate a big boost in torque coming to a turbo'd or V6 VW.

            ....maybe? but I know quite a few people with the latest Honda and other Japanese brands that have problems with their late model car.

                As a mechanic some of the worst cars iv worked on have been honda's. always weird faults and most are just out of warranty, and parts cost a fortune($370 for one door central look unit when whole kit from autobarn is around $100). Alot of faults are things you never see in other cars plus the usual suspects.

                Not defending VW as the have there fair share as well but iv had no faults (touch wood) yet. but id rather buy a hyundai.

                  I've never had any major problems with my DC5R. The only problem I had so far was just ripped engine mounts which is common problem amongst all cars.
