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,

    Nice.. That looks like a 147TSI Highline model here in Australia, except that the 147TSI uses a 2.0l GTI engine.

    The other specs seems identical, except that we don't have keyless entry option here!

        The Jetta in that spec looks good,called SEL in America,but they get the 2.5 5 cylinder engine.

                Thanks guys.

                I'm considering these alloy wheels in the coming months:

                Borbet Design CA
                Winter Sommer ALU Felgen Borbet CA 7.0x17 ET50 5x112mm VW Jetta 1KM | eBay



                Or this...
                Borbet Design XB




                Thoughts?

                  Nice wheels. Have you considered going for lighter weight wheels?

                  I'm looking at getting TSW nurburgrings

                  I was initially thinking of getting enkei rpf1 wheels

                  Then I changed my mid and thought about getting enkei pf01 wheels



                  But I found the Enkeis didn't truly take to the Jetta...

                  So for now until I get my Jetta I will be picking the nurbs...unless I change my mind again ~_~

                    I finally went with Borbet CA's. The Jetta isn't the sportiest car around so I didn't want to overdo the wheels. May just look to ricey and a bit of a try hard sports car. I thought the CA would give it that classy stock but not-so-stock look. Here are more pics of the wheel on other cars. Was able to get them for around $755 delivered to my door from Germany - 7x17 5x112 ET50 (stock 17" on Jettas are ET54) with 225/45R17 tyres. I was also trying to get wheels as close enough to the stock profile as possible.

                      We just got our jetta comfortline 118kw with satnav leather seats for 40k hope that is a good deal. We are loving the car so far. Changed from lance ralliart to this such a difference in ride and noise. Made a good choice. Did I mention fuel economy of approx 7l/100km in city traffic and the car has not even run in yet.

                          It is Platinum Grey. Well so far I have already upgraded the Low beams to HID. Am thinking of getting the chrome around the windows though like the highline version??

                            Good choice. Mine's the same colour. Did you install a HID kit on it? I just used halogen whites on mine.

                              I put in a HID kit. It works really well and have just adjusted the headlight level to 1.5 and have no issues with it. Only thing i have had come up is the Comp saying lights not working but if you turn them on it goes away and have noticed it only comes on during the day when the lights dont come on. Otherwise work perfect. Am thinking of getting the Canbus adaptors.
