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,

  • MkIII Golf fuel light? Can one be added?

    Driving a car without a fuel light is killing me.. I am that type of bloke that drives til the light comes on.. then drives some more.

    If you added the light from a cluster from one of our American cousins could you wire this little bad boy to work? I know the correct resistance for them etc

    It's generally not a good idea to run a car that low on account of the injectors accumulating residue from the bottom of the tank. But I feel you, mk3 clusters are temperamental to say the least.

      the dash cluster isn't too hard to get out, you might wanna check the bulb, I changed much of my dash cluster bulbs to LED due to this. I suppose you could jump off the fuel light supply wires (in parallel), but use a very low current drawing light like an LED. Ensure the LED is the right voltage or you may have to solder in a resistor.
