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,

    I really like the Optima Yellow Tops, but you need to make sure you get one that fits, and it may require relocation of the fuses on top of the battery box. Get in contact with FHRX Studios for advice...
    Nothing to see here...

        I had one in my 205 GTi. Was great but was REALLY expensive.

          Have a search through my R32 thread for the details on what and how much I paid for my replacement.
          Cheers,

              When the battery in my VR6 went I essentially bought the next size up on what was already overkill... seems I still have something draining power though, two weeks sitting = no cranking

              On the upside, since it's in the garage it's easy enough to hook up the charger to top it up.

              If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

                VW OEM on mine. Seb recommended it and now issues at all.

                I think from memory it was about $250.

                My 2 cents.
