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,

    Hello to all Watercooled members,

    My name is Jake and I'm new to this forum, so I thought I'd tell you all a little about myself. I am 20 years old and I am studying full time to become a chiropractor. Cars are one of my personal hobbies.

    My current ride is a black 2001 Volkswagen Bora, V6 4motion sport. The only other VW I have had personal experience with is the car I had before this one which was exactly the same car. My previous Bora was a write off due to an unfortunate accident involving a motorcyclist but has recently found a better home on the race track.

    Since owning both these cars, I have done a lot of the work myself, which was frustrating at times, coming from a background of Holden Commodores. This work has included:

    * Regular oil service
    * Brake rotors, pads and fluid change
    * Power steering pump and rack replacement (on previous car)
    * Thermostat and housing gasket (on previous car)
    * Strut and shock replacement
    * Front end suspension refresh/Polyurethane bushings (Both cars)
    * Interior and cosmetic improvements and replacements

    This is just a few things that come to mind, so as I will ask for help on this forum, I will do my best to help out anybody who needs it. I understand these cars can be a bit tricky at the best of times.

    Looking forward to my time here!
Working...
