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,

  • QLD Hello!

    Hi All

    Name is Lachy - joining as have recently acquired an 05 Polo GTI.

    Basically bought this at a hale auction a little while ago, with the intention of repairing and on-selling it.

    When I picked it up the hale had covered most of the car, with all panels affected. Also noted that it was running a phenomenal amount of boost (which im told is 'Stage 1 ECU tuning'). Needless to say I was quite impressed with the little cars performance, and have decided to keep it as my A-B.

    Looking forward to getting involved with the club!

    Cheers

    Welcome to the forum Lachy.

    What's the ruling on hail damaged cars? I thought if it's bad enough they write off the car?

    Cheers

      If the cost of the repairs outweighs the value of the car then they consider it a write off but that doesn't mean it can't be bought from auctions and either repaired or kept as is if your happy to leave it.

      Means you can't get full comprehensive insurance though generally as they won't cover future hail damage etc.
