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 rare model in Australia (i.e.never released here), I imported it on my return to Australia from the UK in 2009.

    It is powered by a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated inline-four cylinder engine, driven through the front wheels via a five-speed manual transmission.

    The car is originally a UK-delivered model, which I imported into Australia and is now located in Sandringham, VIC.

        As nice as 'Gary' is, it is a pity he is not the even rarer MK3 GTI 16V.

        Mk3 GTIs (8V only) were also available in South Africa, where the top MK3 was the VR6 ( owned a silver VR6 and loved it).

          I had a 2-door '94 GTI Mk3 8v in white with a crossflow head back in Brazil (in the early 2000s), and I miss that car so much. I’d love to have another one.
