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,

Anybody in here or have you all moved to FB?

    Yeah, guess I like to think of forums as support groups for people addicted to cars. Is hard to shut me up at times, oops!

      Forums are like an encyclopaedia whereas Facebook is a daily newspaper. I use both - FB is better for organising events but Forums are better for ongoing/tech discussion, build threads, etc.

            And that's pretty much it, I consider Facebook to be more for conversation. Things only remain visible while they are being talked about where as forums keep a more permanent record that people can search and find things on. Especially great for older cars that move into the 2nd (and 3rd, 4th, 5th hand market...) where new owners run into common issues (I know I've actively referred to old threads on DIY things for my old VR6!).

            Since most people tend to be on facebook half the day anyway they seem to catch more attention for those social discussions, and that's not a bad thing. Just remember to go back to a forum to write up that build thread!

            If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

              I find FB is great for sharing pics and little blurts but forums are way way better.

              The forum community is better too

                just checking in, I don't bothered with fb and usually don't frequent this forum unless the car has problems. Speaking of problems, just replaced failed pcv with pcv delete plate, installed dv+ as precaution, then headliner still needs to be fixed... bloody designed to fail oem parts.
