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,

      I clean the air filter (foam job) at the oil change, well that's the plan doesn't always happen lol

      Yea I'll oil it, just any old brand is fine, don't soak it tho, it just drips in the air box

      • So these foam air filters don’t need a spray coating of oil after cleaning? My APR filter says otherwise but I’m new to these type of filters.

                Only reason for asking is that I saw some sikolene filter oil in supercheap today. Hadn’t really thought about it before then.

                • Long time Since something happened, which means care free motoring right?

                  Still need to do rear brake pads, and New tyres soon, and maybe remove the HPA Puck as Im over the NVH it has.
                  Might try Revo or go back to the Stock bush with a APR insert/Arm, with the 034 Upper insert.

                  Always on the look out for other mods, but tbh, Think this will be my lot on power levels, Not interested in doing an Intercooler or a real tune. JB4 is powerfully enough for the street.

                  Might book some time on the Dyno for a JB4 tune up...

                  • Getting a Service done today, so at the weekend sorted out a few odd jobs.
                    - Replaced the HPA puck with a Revo puck.
                    - Quick Brake bleed
                    - Removed JB4 for service
                    - Checked airbox and air filter

                    Next on the list will be Tyres and Rear brakes (pads and Rotors most prob)

                    • Hi Hamish,

                      How are you finding the Revo pendulum (dogbone) mount after some time with it?

                      Cheers, Gav.

                        Hey mate,

                        Yea it's great on the nvh front, still get wheel hop, but my tyres are old, hard and at the wear indicators...

                        It's a nice product but I've seen a few rear like the V1 HPA, if I was to do it all again, I'd stay stick with and insert or the 034 rubber replacement bush

                          I would suggest stickier new tyres would give way to even more axle hop given it'll be harder to transfer the power to the wheels.

                          034 sell a pair of mounts. I'm guessing there is an upper and lower dogbone mount? Are these easy to change without a press?

                          And I suppose if the pair of rubber mounts aren't enough, an insert could be tossed into the bottom mount for good measure...

                            Yea I'm due for tyres, looking around tbh.

                              Will 245/35-19s fit with our 19s? From memory going +20 on the width (from 225/35-19) puts as at +14 on the dia, which is legal. Assuming it clears guards and liners with the Extreme 19s...

                                Yea people have been putting 235s on, seems ok for clearance.
