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,

    quick update

    Quick update: Decided to give the rusty replacement engine an electolysis bath to try and remove the rust from the cylinder walls without scrubbing.

    The result was not what I wanted, but definitely surprising!!

      Subscribed. Good luck!
      Can you link to where you read about the improvements VW has done to this engine over the years? I have a CAVD from 2012 and I always wonder how long it will last. Currently doing 72,000 km.

        There's two threads going on this car so I've combined them in the one place (Mk6 Forum).
