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,

              Have you been servicing it as often as you should? if the oil is low auto's get tempremental if it is. It may even just need a good service.

                Yeah they need looking after. Some friends of mine had a mazda 323 and it would barely move due to a monster leak and no oil in it. They stuck a litre in it and it went like new again.
