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,

  • Mystery part

    Hi all,

    My first post here, so please be kind!

    I was engaging in some over exuberant pressure washing (engine bay and underside) of my Mk4 Golf 2.0 and this piece fell on to the ground. I suspect it is some sort of protector for a gearshift linkage or similar but I can't quite work it out. Can anyone tell me where it goes? Something obvious no doubt.

    Thanks

    It's a protective cap off the top of the starter motor ��

      Thanks beale187! I am guessing it is for the large nut that connects the battery cable. Yes my suspicion that it is something that should have been obvious was correct .
