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,

  • Kerbed a Wheel. Got a Spare Gigaro (Anthracite) ??

    I discovered my 16 month old grandson can now, not only release his seat belt, but also open car doors, even when they're locked (yes - I have activated the child locks now)

    I discovered this in the freeway doing 90 = in my panic to secure him and the door, I kerbed the front wheel reasonably badly.

    Q1: Can wheels be machined without #$#%ING them up?

    Q2: Does anyone know someone with spare ANTHRACITE or SILVER Gigaros? (my wife just got a Fabia RS too and I just KNOW we'll need a spare or two)

        Whereabouts are you? I've been surprised in the past about what wheel repairers can fix

            Yes - i've looked up a local firm (Kings Gold Coast) and they seem to be able to work wonders - just gotta get a "round tuit". Might leave it till the tyres are due - 21000KM now - won't be long with these soft Dunlops...

              I've now moved my Fabia on. Still got the four original Gigaros. I'd imagine BrashDaniels no longer has his either, but maybe someone else would be interested in them.

                Yes, children in the car demand caution. I think now it is effective to install a camera in the back seat to control the child's actions.
