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,

  • My new LED tail lights arrived today
    Very similar look to OEM LED's but a 3rd of the price. Had usual problem of having to change over the reverse and fog lenses but nothing a bit of ingenuity (and a jigsaw) couldn't fix.
    I used to be indecisive - now I'm just not sure....

              x2 Best looking after market tails I've ever seen.

              BTW Are you going to swap the fog and reversing lamps before you fit the lights?

                  • had the paddle shift enabled on my TDI on tuesday - must say makes driving the car alot more enjoyable ..... brought the wheel and had it fitted some time ago... just didn't get around to getting it all enabled via vag-com .. so did it all at the same time when got the car serviced

                    • Lights are in and here's the pics as promised. Now I'm considering replacing 3rd brake light with a LED one. Can't decide whether to go clear or smoked. Opinions??

                          LOL..It is lowered (pedders springs) and I wouldn't want to go lower as already have some places around here where it bottoms out over driveways etc.

                                Nice job!
                                Looks like the fog/reverse swap went well - was it difficult?
                                Was there any VAG-Com involved?
                                And where did you source the lights? How expensive were they?
