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,

  • A Little Body Help - Bonnet Arms

    Ey guys. well as a consequence of being careless and forgetting to tie down the bumper while towing my mk2 on the freeway a while back, my bonnet arms which connect the bonnet to the car are stuffed.

    my Q is - whats hte easiest way to take the arms off? (already taken the bonnet off the arms). can it be done by taking only the fender off?

    if someone has a set of bonnet arms that'd also be helpful otherwise ill get my brother to ship a set over from germany.

    thanks

    In the meantime if it help ya keep the bonet up with no ugly brooms etc just use a small set of grips and clamp the strut insert side of the stru when up fully, it will stay up no worries then - cant understand why people use sticks and brushes as a little neat set of grips does the job nicely

        Reach up in the raintray where the arms go. Each one has a clip on it, remove this and they will come out.
