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,

      Finally finished my quad tail lights mod
      I've been thinking about this for a while now, how did you go about doing it and what were the costs involved if it's OK to ask.
      Mine: -MK5 Golf 2.0TDI[Deiselgeek sigma 6 shifter + H&R 50mm lowering springs + GTI Tartan interior + Audi 18x8 A6 wheels(Dark Steel)]
      -MK1 Golf The re-spray/re-build
      In the family: -MK5 Jetta 2.0TDI, -9N3 Polo TDI, -6R Polo TDI, -Mitsubishi S^$&box van
      A pattern seems to be forming...

        Hard to say as I've never compared the two. Theoretically I'd say there wouldn't be too much difference at all.

            No probs mate. Doesn't cost much. 4 x 12v 5W wedge bulbs, 4 x wedge bulb holders w/leads from ebay, some suitable wire and spade terminals. Pulled apart the inner lenses, drilled holes and mounted the holders N.B This is the most difficult part of the installation as it requires a bit of modification to the bulb holders so the bulb doesn't touch any plastic and the that the rear doesn't touch the any metal when refitting the lenses. Wired them up in parallel and plugged them into the rear fog light plug, using modded spade terminals, so no fog light any more (not much fog here in Brisbane anyway). Used vag-com to change rear fog to parking light and increase the brightness to get it looking closer to the outer lights.

              • When you can't find a rear brace you really like...build one yourself.

                • Pulled the fuse for the radio. It keeps coming on by itself and killing the battery after shut down. Sigh.

                    You need to update your CANBUS to a newer revision to stop the power drain.

                    • It's the standard radio that came with the car though. I haven't changed a thing. It just started doing it one day. Might upgrade to one of those ANS things...
