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,

  • Hi from the UK, in the middle of emigrating to SA with my VW's!

    Hi,
    I thought it was about time to register with your fab forum! We (my Fiancee Mo and I) are in the middle of emigrating to the Adelaide area of South Australia. All our stuff is now on its way in a 40' high cube container, and we will be following in the first week of December 2007.

    We have got to do all the usual stuff when we arrive, ie find a property rental, get tax file numbers, activate our Oz bank account, get jobs! etc etc, so still lots to do!! But the really hard stuff is now sorted, getting the permanent residents visas, car import permits, shipping, its taken us 3 years.
    On to the interesting stuff for you guys.... our cars.

    We are bringing our much loved MK1 Golf GTI and our Corrado VR6 Storm with us.... assuming the container ship doesnt sink

    I have owned my GTI for about 14 years now. She is modified with a turbo technics conversion and full engine management, suspension and brake mods etc all done by me over the years with some help in Dyno tuning and fabrication by my good friends at www.jkm.org.uk. I couldnt bear to leave her behind.

    We have owned our Corrado storm for 6 1/2 years now. She is completely standard with full VW service history and a receipt file that fills 2 lever arch files. She is also fitted with the optional airconditioning kit.

    I always insisited that I would bring both cars with me, but after seeing the interest the Corrado creates on the forum, I knew it just had to be done!
    Looking forward to getting there and getting the cars safely to our new home and meeting up with some new mates

    I am still trying to work out how to post some pictures of the cars on the site here, all mine seem too big to insert Any help would be appreicated

    Cheers!!
    Corrado VR6 Storm

            Go to the user tips and suggestions forum. Shanath has posted a very useful guide on how to do it. Even I could understand it.

                    Glad you like them, hope they get there in one bit, and that a flat battery doesnt corrupt the map files on the Golf's ECU. Will have to remember my laptop to reload them if there are problems!!

                        Hi, thank you for your kind comments. I dont know what to say to that really.

                        I guess the Golf is not uncommon, even as a modified car, but the Corrado is a bit rare.
                        Even in the UK the Storm is a rare model. They made 500 of them as the final production run, 250 in Mystic Blue with black leather and 250 in Classic Green with the cream leather like mine. I was fortunate enough to buy mine with the desireable air con fitted. This was not even a factory option in the UK but was a £2K extra fitted to order by Diavia, using a selelction of Golf 3 and Passat parts.
                        Thanks again.

                            Hi, well we will see what we can do when we get there. I will have to get them through the ADR stuff and the rego's organised, but that should be achievable before Feb. Would be great to meet up with some like minded VW fans. Hey I dont want to make anyone jealous though. Only brought the cars with me because I love them so much, even after owning them for so long. The Corrado was my daily drive to work until we finally got the house sold. Then had to get her perfectly clean and kept that way for the shipping.
