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,

      UPDATE!

      She's regoed now as some of you may know

      butttt after 4 blissful days of driving i blew up the engine. Dam. It was always a lemon of an engine however and an unknown quantity, no matter how much i'd tune it, it'd always ping, toward the end it was using oil and stinking pretty badly.

      So i got stuck into it yesterday and ripped it apart ready for a new engine, this time a guarenteed 1.8 with 10:1, flat tops, and a GTI spec cam.

      pics to come

        Wanna cheap 1800 short block?

        The flat top pistons will fix the low comp issues I had with it.

                  Water jackets look pretty dry...

                  Exhaust valves look like they got pretty hot.. Looks to be aluminium in No2...

                          Piston has obviously picked up or the crown has been burnt. IE its gotten bloody hot and/or lost some lubrication.
