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,

  • NSW Hello :)

    Hi guys,

    To be honest, i had never thought much of VWs, they were expensive and way out of my price tag aha,
    however recently i have aquired an 99 VW transporter syncro with alot of kms on the clock roughly 307k

    despite its current issues i have been having lately, i absolutely love it (beside the parts costs of course aha )

    I come to this forum in hopes that i can learn more information about my car, for its current issues are becoming slightly unbearable, what makes matters worse is that I am a mechanic by trade aha, I have freshly come out of an apprenticeship from toyota (i am unsure if that is a curse around here, but personally i believe they are generally an alright make ) Hence my knowledge outside of toyota's is very limited.

    I hope to make a contribution to this forum

    anyways enough of a back story, my specs are:

    1999 T4 transporter syncro
    2.5 I5 AET petrol

    and thats all i really know about it

    Shall cross off when fixed
    currently has:
    - Engine Idle and Running issues (currently working on)
    - Road vibration (believed from wheels perhaps drive/tail shaft)
    - Minor oil leaks
    - D/S front inner CB boot broken
    - Others to discover aha

    I hope to get to know alot of you here and become apart of the community - Shall post photos this weekend hopefully

    Hopefully you find some useful info here to get your new set of wheels running well.
