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,

  • Flat/False Boot Floor

    Recently I picked up the optional flat/false floor of another member (thanks mate)

    You have to pop rivet two brackets into the car at the very rear of the boot
    My car is a Nov 2011 and already had the holes drilled but others have had to drill their own holes
    Anyway, that took 10 minutes (had to cut away some of my Dynamat sound deadening)

    Then it's a no tools installation job, four hand operated clips lock the thing in place
    It takes a bit of strength to lock the clips in - you wife wont be able to do it

    So here it is - as you can see, it does reduce boot volume but the floor is flat with the door opening
    (You can still use the boot compartments on the left and right)

    And the false floor can be used like this to segment the boot into a smaller place to stop stuff sliding around everywhere

    Whats it weight rated at?
    If you were trying to sleep in the back, this would be a no brainer. That lip at the rear seats is a killer, sits just above your hip if your feet are at the rear door.

      It's rated at 70~80 kg

      If you put support under the false floor it could hold more weight

      Agree about that lip between the boot and rear seats is a nightmare
