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,

  • Ashley exhaust manifolds?

    Has anyone had any experience using Ashley manifolds?
    I did a quick search of the forum but only found mentioning of the brand and no solid opinions through experience..
    Is anyone able to comment?
    They would be going on a Mk1 too if that's any help..

    They aren't Supersprint but they work OK. I have used a 16V conversion one in a MK1 GTI years ago. No problems with that except they didn't ship a seal for the flex joint. I got one from a local exhaust place for pennies.

      Yeah i'm not really after a super improvement or gain. I just have been noticing that it still sounds like my exhaust has a slight leak even though I had the whole system (minus manifold) replaced not even a week ago. More just looking for a way to fix a problem that might give a slight improvement over stock, plus the price seems okay $480AUD inc. shipping. I figure getting an exhaust shop to make one up would involve big money? Which i'd prefer to put towards the new motor..
      More than anything I was worried about fitment and the quality of the welds, then again, weld quality might not be as important on a daily as it is on a car that gets ragged on every day..
