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,

  • High pressure cleaning

    Phew ... hubby took the Jetta to work last night and there was a disaster. The basement carpark was flooded and he couldn't bring the car home this morning. He said the water was lapping at the VW emblem on the mags. He was also concerned that the water had got into the car. But back at work tonight confirmed that the seals had done their job - as they should. We also had concerns about water getting into the exhaust and any other nasties. But the car started OK. Now we want to give it a good spray underneath because of all the potential contaminants in the water.
    But what of these high pressure car washes. For the normal car I wouldn't want to use those brushes, as they have most likely been used by 4WD's and the recycleable water also concerns me as those same 4WD's that have been on the beach and in salt water, hence the water may have salt in it. But I suppose any spray is a good spray, so we'll probably take it to a car wash tomorrow.
    Should I be concerned taking it to one of the high pressure car washes?

      No one could get a cam until the water subsided a bit and then couldn't get close enough due to the "live" power being under water, but the high water mark was at 30cm. By the way, we rang the dealer and they did the under body clean for FREE that day while we waited.
