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,

  • Hatch Pop Kit -> will this work?

    Wondering if anyone has gone down the path of a auto opening hatch?

    Im going to put i on my wife's Mk 6 GTI, and thinking maybe it would be good on the R too?

    Perhaps they are too long etc, and will blow the door off?

    thoughts?

    I ordered these a few months go. Very easy to fit takes around 15 minutes. The only issue the boot opens a little lower than before. Being over 6 foot I have banged my head a few times.

      I bought these from ECS Tuning, fitted them and promptly removed them. The added effort needed to overcome the resistance of the struts to close the hatch was too much for my wife. Must admit, I found it a bit tough aswell.
