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,

  • ACT New to the joys of German ownership

    Greetings!

    Having recently joined the ranks of those illustrious gents known as fathers I have come to the realisation that my wife's Renaultsport Megane would suffice for a short preiod of time with a new baby.



    However

    By the miracle that is monozygotic twins, I have two gorgeous girls. The Megane then would not work as a baby carrying speed demon. As such i required something a little bigger. My head said Volvo but my heart said Audi RS4. As my wallet would not stretch to an Audi despite me asking the Universe many times, I had to compromise and get the RS4's baby brother the VW R36.



    Its an 08 build, 09 complied with the updated stereo.
    It drives a little differently to the Megane and the DSG was a little difficult to get used to but i wouldn't have anything else. Well maybe the aforementioned RS4 Avant.

    You may have also seen my other love lurking in the garage:



    My GTA is my true love (with exception of my wife and two girls ) and has a Q2 LSD, Bilstein B14s, 330mm Brembos, Eibach ARBs and an exhaust note to make a Ferrari blush.

    Glad to be here and looking forward to the VWWC warmth.

    Cheers,

    Poki (Tim)
