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,

                • Not sure if trimsport are still going mate, but try GPC - they're an awesome contact for badges/trim/lights and stuff like that, i got loads of stuff off them for my Corrado when i had it resprayed. Theit website is being updated but they're well worth contacting, theres aphone number and email address on the site..... (all genuine parts)

                  So where is the charger being sent? Glad you're keeping with the G.

                  • Maurice died last year but I think that Trimsport is still going. Don't be too surprised if they tale their time getting back to you. My mate Zak makes headlight looms for them and he was asked for some this year.

                    Matt, I am going to have a look inside and see how it is.

                      Cool, ill give it a go and try my luck.

                      It will be interesting how the charger looks as the guy who i bought it off said he only just looked at it and had it rebuilt not too long ago, so should confirm who is right.

                      Just need to get onto a courier.

                      • Sounds good Dan, very wise choice to check it out and rely on whats been said. I found some pics of 2 of my old Mk2's and put them in the pic thread, damn i want a Mk2 again! Has to be 3dr though!

                          • some surface rust to resolve, anyone know where you get the tar for the underbody, tried varies places and no luck

                            • Charger looks pretty normal apart from the black paint. Doesn't look to be ported as far as I can see up the outlet. It has a non-std pulley installed, most likely a 68mm one. The little timing belt doesn't look to be of the wide variety. I could be wrong though.

                              Gavin

                              Dan, If you haven't sent it yet take the belt tensioner off and send me that as well. I'll put some poly bushes in it for you.

                              • They aren't suppose to be black? No I haven't sent it yet do I'll take off the belt tensioer. Yeah, it's got the 68mm pulley so no Surprise.

                                Still was louder the usual and beau said it at about a month!!!! So good to get it sorted.
