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,

    Did you do the "adjustable hole" mod. It stiffens it up a fraction more.

        Forged? That's unusual for an OEM rim. What do they weigh?

        Are they ET39 offset? Not too much poke at the front?

        I think you need to post photos

        Do it! The steel drills like butter. If I was doing it again I'd come back 25mm & cut off the excess material level with the inner edge of the OEM hole & round the corners off.

          Woohoo! All the Superskoda stuff turned up today. All in factory packaging! Pretty impressed with how fast the delivery was - costly (Circa $180 AUD for delivery) but considering the size of the package (it's roughly 1.2m long, 0.3m wide and 0.2m tall) and the speed of delivery - 10 days - not working days, actual days - i'm pretty impressed!

          The gear looks pretty swish.

          I feel like a hostage negotiator.....i'm getting parts at a time, rather than the whole thing

            Fitted a Forge catch can and a set of spark plugs.

            Trying Denso Iridium this time. Gap out of the box was 30thou. The ones that came out were 26thou. I couldn't be bothered looking up the right setting so 30 thou will do.

            As is normal for all my cars, the old spark plugs looked like new. They had 55,000km on them but as I had the engine cover off & the coil rail disconnected I figured now was a good time to do the job.

                Just checking, I thought from factory there are holes in the front and in the back? I have slimline custom plates and there are two holes either side of them on the front that look like there were there from the factory. On the back they drilled holes inside a few inches from either side of my plate and didn't use the existing outer holes. I assume that was because there were holes already in the back so they drilled my plate to match those.

                      All the parts I got are genuine too. Come in factory packaging, with factory part numbers etc. Was surprised. Nothing damaged either.

                          If people are looking for super cheap alternatives, look at aliexpress and search Skoda 5E

                            I've bought key fob covers from Aliexpress and am looking to get a few other goodies soon too.
                            Will book in tinting and Opti coat on the weekend and will be driving to Sydney for it. Its going to be a bit of a roadtrip with the kids and we will spend a few days with my folks. Which also means a visit to Care care products.......

                                You obviously have not been paying attention.
