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,

    If you don't have power windows, in behind the draw for the ash tray in the center console. Not sure where it is if you have power windows though.

        I thought the power windows took up that part of the center console? from the few aussie import models i've seen im sure they do.

          There is a little cubby hole on keep fit window models, that is blanked off when electric ones are fitted.

                Our Australian delivered Gti had no lighter. As I recall (it was a few years ago now) all the wiring is in behind the panel. I just put a cheap after market one in to recharge the mobile phone.

                          I used to own an Aust delivered '90 GTI manual & it didn't have a cig lighter.

                          Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

                              Yep I have a '90 import and no cigarette lighter, which suits me fine.

                              Still, didnt stop a previous owner(or friend) from burning a hole in the passenger seat.
