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,

      After a minor setback , it's running again.

      Who cares how fast it goes when it sounds like that!

      It makes the sort of noise that makes mothers snatch their children off the streets and lock them indoors.

      It idles louder than my 1800 @ 9000rpm!

              sounds sick. even if it is louder than freddy mercury. Sounds even better though.

                  With the pinging issue, just unbolt the dizzy and rotate it clockwise a little. You won't notice the difference. It'll probably go better, actually.

                    we tried advancing the timing, pinged more.....

                    got it all timed up by Doms dad with the strobe light and everything and i put some 98 in it while i was at it, goes better

                    on the way to doms house engine braking in 3rd gear the thing was just popping and farting like no tommorow it was AWESOME

                          • yeah something is not right , you shouldnt get pinging with a stock 1600 are you sure the fueling is right sounds like there is more power to be had there.

                              well we did everything..... but its sorted now, its just stale fuel thats making it ping now

                              i recon yours will sound better, but at least mines running!

                              i recon the valve stem seals are gone as some white smoke farts out when i really get up it. Who cares, gives me an excuse to do some head work to the other pre emissions head lying around the workshop.... big valves and some porting anyone?
