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,

    First breakage on the GTI...

    RH front wheel bearing collapsed

    Not bad considering the amount of track days & racing the car has done. Oh well - will be back on the road in a couple of days

    Interesting Guy, no warning??
    It has had a lot of pressure on the wheel brgs, for sure! Dave Pitman literally drove the wheels off it, or at least one anyway!!
    Warrantee covering it????

      hey Andrew,

      Yeah - it was odd - sounded like a tyre noise on Saturday, sounded like a steam roller on Sunday - collapsed fully. Warranty would cover it, but for the total cost of $300 fitted (genuine parts) - I'm mobile again this afternoon.

      The dealer - couldn't even book in for a week!

          the same thing happened on my car. The noise was coming from the left, so they replaced the left one, and then the right one! so i have new wheel bearings now!!
