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,

    Dont drill the bolt . Use a grinder with a thin blade and cut a t vertically and horizontally then use a hammer and chisel to undo it . If you take the whole head off Ive found the thread comes out easily as its usually the head of the bolt the locks itself in . Also dont be afraid to spray wd-40 or equivalent on it . Lastly with the bolts do they have a 17mm head on them or are them m10/12 internal and round on the outside ?

      I used some vise grips, it was a bit tedious, but there was definitely enough to get a firm hold of.

      There's a couple of photos in my thread here.

        They are the hex bolt ones that are round on the outside. Does that make a difference?

          For any one wondering, I ended up just hammering the triple square bit into the bolts and it worked quite well lol

            Hey guys, I just remembered when I took the intake manifold off every second runner was fouled. What the hell does that mean?
