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.

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,

    Give them time, they probably can't afford to invade until I give them more money for VW parts

      Today I fitted up some replacement tail light seals, thank you Stefcio007.

      Removed the leads and plugs and fitted new plugs.
      Went to fit the leads but they are wrong and for a passat, so getting swapped for correct ones on Monday.

      Then I fitted a replacement TCM and tested the heatercore for leaks with a garden hose.
      Not one drop of water in the cabin. Think I may be lucky!

      I've ordered some T pieces and some hose to modify the coolant hoses to suit an automatic transmission, a lead removal/install tool and a replacement airbag controller.

      Once these parts arrive, I will be able to fit, put the car back together and do a road test.

      Then I think I'll be doing a gearbox service and replace the sump gasket and plug while I'm there.

      Hoping that is all it needs, with the exception of some replacement panels as they become available.

      Happy days

              These ones have stalks and a much thicker exterior. Look like convoluted tubing. Far too big to fit in the stock plastic engine covers. Sure they may work fine but they are not right for the car.

                  MK4 ones fit, I'm running them.
                  Longer stalks and thicker tubing.
                  Mine are from ECS, red ones. Solved all my running rough issues.

                    I want leads with stalks that fit in the plastic engine covers.
                    What do I ask for? Mk 4 bora?

                      I ordered MK4 Golf leads.
                      Found the ones I bought:
                      403 Forbidden
                      Ask them for something that looks like these.

                        Ended up getting VR6 leads VW Village in Kensington. They are also red, which is a bonus
