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,

  • MkV GTI fans

    There was a squeaking noise on my car recently and occured when starting the car and staying on idle. I changed the timing belt but its still there.

    Is it the radiator fans? I heard they are expensive to change?

    could be your pressure valve...try removing your oil filler cap with the engine running...if it doesnt come off your pcv valve is buggered...causes a sqeal noise running and will hiss for a while when you turn off the engine

      It can squeal after shut down, liken it to a balloon full of air being let out slowly. Only happens when the diaphragm just splits, when fully busted itll run bad anyway
