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,

        Only because SEAT haven't been sold in Australia for a while, but as its VAG its all interchangable to a certain extent.
        See Golf Loon at Camden GTI. He should be able sort parts out

            Short self tapping screw? Where did you place it? I see the covers slide in to the skirt. Did you have to take it off to access?

              I just placed the cover in it's place then put a short screw in from underneath at the inboard end through the gap between the cover & the skirt. When the head of the screw contacts both surfaces it will hold the cover.

                any response to this list of problems from another forum?

                Go and have a look in the Dog & Lemon Guide at your local newsagent. In short, avoid like the plague.

                ECUs give constant problems
                Radiators die between 80-180k
                Oil leaks common
                Camshaft seals leak
                Timing belts fail early (interference engine too)
                If used below 8 degrees C the crankcase breather pipe freezes shut and leads to an oil supply problem that will wreck the entire engine
                Manual gearboxes are usually dead before 150k
                Car uses a special flywheel (expensive) that wears out with the clutch and often needs replacing
                Clutch cable self adjusters fail on manual versions, causing accelerated clutch wear
                Suspension prone to frequent wheel alignment problems
                Discs and brake pads wear out very quickly
                Paint is soft and fades easily
                Side windows fall out of their guides and into the doors
                Aircon dies young and is expensive to fix
                3 stars out of 4 crash rating (not bad).

                      You seem so worried about future problems. You should buy a more reliable car
