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,

  • Scotts Mk3 Vento/Jetta

    Hey guys I picked this up last night for a new daily. I'm sure a bunch of you in Perth may recognise it. The body work and paint is in pretty good nick ad the interior was filthy until I had it professionally cleaned today. I was told it has an upgraded cam and lightened flywheel. The gearbox is pretty shagged but I have another 020 box I will be swapping into it and will be chasing another one for my mk2 gti. Anyone in Perth want to do a cashie and help me swap this? Also ordering new rotors and pads all round. Has a vibration coming coming from somewhere up front. Im guessing a wheel bearing or something of the sorts is the culprit. Will investigate this when I have time. It should look pretty killer on my 16x8 snowflakes My plan is to bring it back to its former glory and who knows what else.

      Thanks man! Should organise a meet sometime. The mk2 is going into hibernation for a while haha. Got the vento for a reliable daily in the meantime. But we all know what happens when we say I'm not going to mod it and one thing leads to another!

            Nice job picking this up man! Be awesome with the snowflakes and some lows. If you feel the need for an exhaust give us a yell as I may have one in the next few weeks.

              Here is how she sits now. Excuse the shoddy iPhone photo. Just need rear guards rolled. Swap the box and a new roof lining. Bringing it back to its former glory!
