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,

Ballpark figure assistance please!!

    You still need someone to look over your shoulder to make sure you aren't doing something silly. Like getting oil or grease on the brake pads or overtightening something. Real easy to do, real easy to prevent if you've got someone who knows what they are doing.

    Cheers

      Cheers Paul, I appreciate that. I wish I knew more. Too busy playing sport on the weekends when everyone else had their head under the bonnet!

        It's easily the best manual on MK1 Golf's and really easy to understand. Lots of cartoons to make things simpler to understand and treats you like a total newbie so all the instructions are geared towards someone who has never done the repair before.

          That's good advice. I'll hit up Amazon and grab myself a copy.

          Cheers for that.
