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,

  • My mk2 "The Kettle"

    Hi guys,

    I've had my mk2 for a couple of years. Never bothered posting here as not much has been done to it. I'll be making a few changes soon so thought I'd share it.
    So far it's a standard 1.8 litre 8 valve digifant, JOM coilovers, a front strut brace and Borbet Type A wheels.

    Here's the day I bought it.



    Here's how it looks at the moment.

            Haven't got it on yet. I want to paint the car first, then the heckblende will go on.

              Going to attempt to put this Porsche 928 steering wheel on tomorrow. Need to remove the steering column spline adapter first.

                  Looks sweet, have you got a puller? Heard the adaptor can be a barstard.

                    I've got a bearing puller. Might spray the spline with wd40 before I start. Didn't get a chance to do it today. Hopefully this week I'll get the new steering wheel on.

                      Tried to put on the 928 wheel last night but realised that the horn contact was missing. Found one at a Porsche wrecker. Hopefully will have the wheel in soon.

                        Next project is to finally put in the ragtop I scored from a Polo Open Air. Hopefully I'll have it in by next week. Will take a time lapse video for you all.

                            Finally installed the Porsche 944 steering wheel. I originally put on the 928 wheel but the splines didn't match.
                            Had to take off the spline adapter with a bearing puller and the 944 wheel bolted straight on.
