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,

  • GTI springs on TDI

    Today I fitted GTI springs onto my TDI, but I am getting a rattling sound from the front pair. I pulled my wheels off to have a look after about half an hour of tame driving to have a look, but i couldn't really put my finger on the problem. the springs had rotated a tiny bit in the shock perch, but after about 2 hours more driving, they had stayed the same.

    Anyways, i believe the plate surrounding the bump stop at the top of the shock is a different size to a stock GTI item. Other than this rattling noise, the springs are performing very well. Can anyone give me some tips and/or pointers on getting rid of this rattling noise?

    (it only rattles over bumps etc

    is it kosher to fit GTI springs on a TDI? when I booked in my coilovers Dragan said that they are different coilovers for the diesel due to different engine weight etc etc....

    dunno could be contributing to the noise?
