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,

  • Roof lining repair

    Hey all,

    The roof lining on my passat is just starting to coming away around the overhead compartment. When trying to put it back in place it doesn't quite have enough material to tuck back into behind the compartment.

    Has anyone else had this issue. Is it dyi job or one best left to an upholsterer?Click image for larger version

    Would think a specialist as the lining would have to be stretched special tools may be needed

      Very common issue on dark colour VWs - Don't DIY it though. Leave it to the pros!
