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,

    G'day all,

    In the coming weeks I will be drilling holes on the tops of the front strut towers to install a strut bar. What should I use to prevent/prolong any rust from developing?

    Cheers,
    Raymond.

    Cold Gal. You can buy very small tins for touching up any drilled holes.

        Hey Ray,

        You should give the area a liberal spray with fish oil after you touch it up with the cold-gal, that way u should be rust free for years to come

        Just ignore the smell... mmmmmmmm... fishy!!!

        Cheers!!!

          Yeah, my original thought was just fish oil, but with the Cold Gal, it would deinitely prolong it.

          As with the smell, I'll remember to keep the fans to circulate within the car
