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,

    • What is a JB4 exactly?

      • It's a piggy back unit for the ecu, and increases the hp/torque.
        It's a good system from what I've read up on. It's advantage is that it can be removed, not like a flash tune, where you need to go back to the dealer.

        Cheers

        • Sorry to anyone that was keen.
          I've been asked to stop taking orders for the group buy.
          Any one keen will need to go directly to autoinstruct.

              • Would 17 inch Wheels fit over the front RS Brakes?

                Looking at cheap wheels for Track days
                17s with good rubber is way cheaper than 18/19s

                  Wouldn't see a problem, the brakes aren't that big! If you had some Brembos or the like it would be a different story

                    It's not so much the size of the rim more the clearance between the back of the spokes and the caliper you need to check.

                      Yea, the 18in wheels have about an inch or so to the front brake caliper.
                      Ill keep an eye out and see what I can find.
                      I might measure the distance from the centre line of the Hub to the brake caliper.

                        Ask at BriSkoda.

                        17" should fit on the 330mm (??) fronts. I know for a fact that 16" fit on the old 312mm fronts of the Mk2 vRS.

                            I was more so pointing out the gap (or lack of) like the pictured below.

                              How are you and Ferret getting on with the JB4? Have you done any logging/tuning with George @ BMS?

                              • Has anyone done a fuse tap in a mark 3 Oct?
                                After power while ignition on. Only ones I can find is
                                clutch/start stop - mini
                                Rear wiper - normal size

                                But you can't get a fuse tap as other larger fuse type things are in the way.

                                Any help cheers


                                Edit:
                                Seems like spot 48 (not assigned) might work. Will keep you posted

                                Edit 2:
                                Yip that seems to work.
