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,

  • 1995 2.0l Transporter Head "ache"

    Hi All,

    I'm looking to repair/replace the head on my old Transporter. I snapped the timing belt when reversing into the drive, and after having a new belt put in discovered that valve no.2 was bent. Any recommendations for the best way forward would be much appreciated.

    We had a 1996 Vento with about 250,000k's on it when it broke the belt. It bent No.2 exhaust valve as I recall. I took the head off complete with inlet and exhaust manifolds. My mate replaced the bent valve and I put it back together with new head gasket. It was still going strong at 400,000 odd thousand k's when my son wrote it off..
