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,

    You always get some residue floating around the pipes. If it runs out of the pipe, then you should be concerned. Otherwise don't worry about it.

      Thanks Gavin , what do you mean when it runs out of the pipe . When the hose was removed from the inter cooler I run my finger inside it the hose and that's where it is that greyish residue is. Only on the hose where the left wheel is the other side of the intercooler there was nothing .. Peter

        I mean if it pours out of the pipe work. There's always some oil mist in the intake.
