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,

  • Just ordered a few parts on Superskoda today for our new addition. I ordered the bonnet gas struts as I think they are a good deal. I looked everywhere but couldn't find any online except Superskoda and I also got a quote from a mobile gas strut fabricator and fitter however I think the $350 he quoted me can go to better use. I haven't even responded to his email quote because honetly, I find it offensive! For that money I bought a heap of stuff from Superskoda whilst also paying their ridiculous freight costs!

      appreciate any help
      I have the full interior led kit and don't have flickering. Have you checked all the connections?

        • Do your interior lights stay on after everything's locked up...It's very dimly lit, also did anyone use the resistors?

          • I'm not sure on the bulb type in the MkIII but have you tried turning the double ended bulbs around to see if that helps?

            • Here's what it looks like when the lights are on (normal) https://www.dropbox.com/s/ksw7v7zfnr..._0067.JPG?dl=0

              And when the car is locked (light stay on dimly)https://www.dropbox.com/s/km8hbkty32..._0065.JPG?dl=0

              The mk3 bulbs are the t10 - flat side not the rounded type

                  Nah all of,I tried playing with it, even tried swapping the bulbs.

                  It's weird how no one else has had to fit the resistors

                  • Did you install the right ones? There are a few in the kit that look the same. You got the interior kit from ledperf right?

                      No idea may have to live with them being like this
