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,

  • TAS New VW owner with a T4 Synchro

    Hi all!
    new Tasmanian member with my first VW...

    Ive been a car guy since I was a kid....messed around with old Fords (XY ute, XF, XE, several early Transits....), Peugeots (first car was a 403, also had 404, 604, 405 Mi16, currently got an ultra rare 403 van...), a few Pommy cars (Humber Vogue and Morris Minor van died in the Dunalley bushfire...got a Morris Oxford now), and my main passion of old Volvos (had loads of them, got a 142 coupe, 164E manual, 242 GT coupe, 240 van....family has had dozens between them!), and right now I am into electric vehicles with my wife and I having one each, Mitsubishi i MiEVs.
    With a growing family we need a family vehicle with more than four seats, and the Tarago we drove had a thrashy engine, horrible auto, fugly....then I stumbled across our new beast!
    1997 LWB Transporter Synchro that has been professionally converted to a ten seat bus.

    i have never driven a van so nice....stable...sure footed...I'm in love!

      Welcome to the forum carnut. We know it will have a manual trans. but which engine do you have? I can't quite make out the transfer on the drivers door.
      Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

        got a nice growly exhaust too, 5 cylinders sound AWESOME with a good exhaust!
