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,

  • Cars idle goes crazy after intake install

    Just installed awe tuning intake on the mk6. When I start the car, it starts then the idle goes crazy... Up and down ... Really rough... What can be wrong? I tried vagcom, no fault codes

    Check that the MAF is not backwards. When you pull it out you can see the window that the air needs to enter into. US spec GTIs have the orientation of the screws reversed.
    If thats ok check that you dont have any leaks.

          Weird question... Is it normal that the car can't pass 4000rpm when it's in neutral and parked?

              Normal on other cars. If it's an auto it's usually to stop you from neutral bombing it.

                Sounds plausible; the exhaust becomes the intake and vice versa.
