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,

Here she is :)

              haha it all takes time

              doubt it. as they carl said, only higher end models came out with them.
              maybe your wiring needs looking at or, someone has snapped the antenna off
              .. got any close ups of the antenna??
              and while your at it engine?

                    White's alright really. It actually hides most dust and small scratches. Black is the problem - it shows everything, even streaks after youve washed it. A real headache. White cars age pretty well.

                    Awesome Mk2 BTW!

                            Hello mate,

                            congratulations to the acquisition of this brilliant specimen !! I have had a white Golf Mk2 for many years and I ended up liking it that way although I wasn't a fan of white at all ! Before you change the colour, consider this : the car doesn't heat up as much in the sun and is more visible on the roads. This is just minor though. I think your car looks just great and I wouldn't change it ! I would get rid of the rust though (there hardly is any) and give it a good service. This will keep you busy for some time ! Hope you'll enjoy driving it and that it'll be a reliable companion !
                            1985 GolfMk2 CL

                              I enjoyed these pics quite a bit! The car looks great, and I think white really suits it with all the black trim and the red grill border - it'll look even better with some tinting.

                              My 1989 four door 8v is different to yours in a few ways though. It has a different looking front skirt, obviously due to my foggies (I actually thought these were standard). And mine has a GTI badge on the front door anti-bump strip and a Wolfsburg badge between the front wheel arch and front door, things which I also thought were standard.

                              Oh yeah, and yours has a side indicator on the fornt fender where mine doesnt. I guess these are differences in the British delivered cars. Interesting.

                                I like them. My old BMW e30 had them and they look noice popped out and with the sunroof popped up
