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,

  • Gearbox seizes/jumpy Mk4 GTI AGU

    It had seized once before, as if i just slammed on the breaks but I reversed back and it acted like nothing happened.
    Lately I have been hearing weird noises and a kind of minor pulsating throttle on occasion.
    Just a few hours ago, I took off casually and the whole thing seized again. I drove forward to park and it made a clunking noise and acted jumpy (holding the car back for 1-.5 second periods every 2 seconds/1 wheel rotation).
    Dad tried to drive it home and it seemed once it had gotten speed, it all stopped until it dropped to 8-10kph when it would kick back in again.
    Anyone have any idea what is wrong and how I can fix it?
    Thanks
    -Todd

    Albeit an internet diagnosis it does have the making of a failing diff mate.
