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,

    The DV is totally plumbed back, and you're unlikely to hear much of it.

    The popping on downshifts/overrun is due to unburned fuel making it out of the combustion chambers IIRC.
    Nothing to see here...

      My R36 farts like Mum's GTI, though not as loudly.

        To me the noise is more like what a car makes when it hits the rev limiter. It sounds as if the computer is holding the engine at certain revs when it changes
