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,

  • gearbox and brake fluids

    With the impending track day at wakefield I want to drain and replace my gearbox oil and brake fluid.

    Anyone with personal experience know of a good brand/product to get for both of them? also for the gearbox, i've heard of some syncro additives being used, is it needed? or will a good oil do the job. My gearbox is not crunchy at all but want to make sure it's all good for some hard use.

    Brake fluid, i've read to use atleast dot 5.1 not dot4 is this correct?

    only other thing i'm worried about are my rear tyres they are a bit low on tread at the moment and I think after a hard day they will be shot.

    cheers,
