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,

  • Fuel filter mounting clamps

    Hey guys,

    I would post a picture if I could (posting off my phone as the Internet at my new place isn't up until next week). I serviced the mk3 today and did the fuel filter while I was at it and came across some slightly annoying clips to remove the mounting bracket. long story short I bolted it back on without them and it seems completely fine, just double checking they aren't essential? Naturally they should be there for a reason but I couldn't figure out how they could make a substantial difference if any. They do have a small spacer as well which led me to believe it needs to be spaced from the body for some reason? But I don't know why. The filter is securely held down and it doesn't affect any clearances, movement or the input/output fuel lines.

    Thanks guys,
    Beau
