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,

        Who was that?

        As mentioned, it would be easier to go find a Pirelli if you want VW to cover it all. I've not had an issues unless I ventured outside of what was recommended for the kit. I did need to replace my coil packs, but that ended up being a VW recall item. Using the right intake for whatever tune you go with is essential.

        If you're thinking of going with AWE, call Lucas in Melbourne and have a chat.

          Thanks for that. I have actually spoken to Lucas and emailed him for a quote. Did you get the Awe kit yourself ?

            I went with the APR Edition 30 kit. Been running it for a few years now. No flaws other than the coil packs I mentioned. I've had a few errors occur due to some experimentation with aftermarket intakes, but if you stick with the stock one (as directed by APR), it works flawlessly.

            At the end of the day, you should go with the people that will offer you the best support. Local support would be best, but I don't know what your options are over there. I'm sure there are a good number of locals who would know the score out your way though.
