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,

  • The daily bruiser

    Might as well share it on here, not sure how big the audi following is on here though??

    Ha, anyway, bought this 5months ago as a replacement to my very tired daily vento and have since made a few adjustments to make it a tough lil cruiser to eat up whatever I throw at it on the daily.....

    it's an 04 2.7TT quattro Allroad with the following mods thus far:

    - 19x9/10 BMW X5 Tiger Claws refinished in matte white and carbon caps wrapped in 255/45's and 285/40's
    - Adjusted airbag suspension (more lows soon)
    - recovered headliner (because family wagon )
    - Aux in added to the stereo
    - Modified headlights - blacked out, devil eyes and sanded out the lense flutes
    - painted flares, alloy boot trim, front chrome grill and under headlights and door blades
    - painted/deleted rear fog lights
    - tinted tail lights
    - Sportline rear badge for the "ALLROAD" with the red "T" for the 2.7
    - Deleted rear wiper
    - Bonnet bra
    - Shark fin antenna
    - cat back straight piped stainless 3" exhaust
    - Front mount
    - modified airbox


    To come:
    - more lows with modified level sensor arms
    - finish exhaust, turbo back with "meow" delete
    - tune
    - get the cabin windows tinted in 5% to match the cargo windows
    - drive it

    (for the eagle eyes, excuse the mismatched center caps, I was trialing the white ones...)

    very nice mate, at least it's something different...

    just my 2 cents but i'd loose the rear window stickers, i think it would look a lot cleaner. also not sure about the white wheels but that personal preference i suppose...

    overall a cool looking and capable wagon though. i'm looking for something similar to do back packing tour of oz, maybe thinking an old skool merc wagon at the mo...

      Love the stance - looks great.

      Headlining is different to say the least.

            Cheers man, the stickers are for mates company's who do work for me and my cars so I'm more than happy promoting them
            What colour would you do them in? I'm already bored of them after a month tbh, haha

            I'd get something mainstream for that trip maybe, for parts availability whilst on the road? Sounds fun though

              This is great. I love audi wagons.

              Headlining gets the thumbs up from me. Very fun [emoji14]

                Don't hate it. Just think it's different.

                    Yay for allroad love!

                    I've been meaning to take some more shots of mine lately, but been too busy mostly. Where did you get the bra? Love the wheels.

                    You need to do some of this in it too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DPo5BATp9o
                    just remember to put in S (like I didnt) so it doesnt change up too many gears :-P

                    Also, I found one international seller that does a touchscreen nav/BT/DVD player thats quite good and works with the allroad/stock amp etc. I got one after looking into doing an aux in mod and decided it would be worth it to have BT streaming etc. Plug and Play!

                      I cant speak to the petrol variant, but after owning the TDI for a year (30,000km), I would have no hesitation taking it around oz. Despite what the internets say about cams in the diesels, the thing runs like a swiss watch and never faulters. I think like all VAG tdi's - service it with love, it will look after you.

                        Dude .... Looks fat. Love it. I'm always impressed when people do something a bit different. I can remember seeing a rotiform Allroad a while back that looked great.

                        X5 style 132 wheels look pretty sweet too on VAG. Like so:

                            lol, yes, i've done a few offroad helli's, haha and of course it was in manual mode! To be honest, I drive a lot of the time with the tiptronic; hate autos....

                            they're thirsty, I average low 11's per 100 but my egt sensors are cactus so it's over fueling; i'll get them coded out with the tune... no bag issues yet although the front bags and compressor were precautionarily replaced just before I bought it

                            FUNKAMEDIC, that skoda looks amazing!
