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,

    Might be an idea to ask some interior places to see how much it would cost to re-upholster the car with good quality leather...

    I know of a guy that has done this in his last 3 cars... costs him around $3k from memory, but top quality leather on all seats, doors, steering wheel etc with colours of his own choice...

    I think I may go down this path next car as better quality leather breathes better so will be much better in the summer also..

      I've had leather in my Subie with the big sunroof and not noticed it to be hot or uncomfortable. (Mind you I haven't jumped into the seat in the middles of summer with the budgie smugglers on !)
      Not sure if the quality is similar but the wear and tear on the drivers seat is minimal after 200k and 9 years.

      I've ordered leather for my RS.
