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 manual which lives in your glovebox is a useful source of all types of information like this! Well worth the read.

          In the boot and underneath everything, you have to remove all the fittings for the tools, etc and then its located under a plate, you will see the wiring for it though.

            The OP stated that "i can't seem to locate the battery in the manual" ... so I assume it was checked first!

                  yeah...call me sad but it was the first thing i did when i got the car and not actually taking it for a big spin.

                  The main manual stated all engine types but not the vr6...the r32 addendum didn't state anything about the battery...maybe i missed it.

                  Thanks all for helping me out!!!

                        I thought that too - I opened the boot and there was more storage compartment.

                        I started trying to lift carpet panels when a security guard asked me to stop...

                        I'm sure it was in there somewhere!
