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,

          Look into some upgraded spotties too, I've some 70watt yellows, and they look the shizzle, and will actually come in handy in fog and drizzle!

          They fill in the already amazing Nightbreakers even more amazingly!

              1 week in and today i washed the car and cleaned the wheels.. damn it all gets dusty quickly!

              also bought a cargo net for $25 as stuff in the boot kept sliding around, its a fraction too big but will do the job fine!

                    found a stone chip on the bonnet today (only 2wks young )
                    anyone know of any decent repairers in SYDNEY?

                      I wouldnt bother, otherwise you will be repairing stone chips every month :p do it once a year or something

                      It sucks though...i had someone hit me in the first week i had mine, low speed tiny paint chip but still went postal on them

                        Subjected my baby to wet weather driving - now it's a bit dirty

                        Used the seat heaters again Damn, they are better than could be imagined - remembering that my first car (FC) didn't even have a heater and that was in Tassie........

                        Auto wipers are fantastic too

                            Got rear ended

                            Sitting at a set of red traffic lights behind other traffic. Light turns green, I await traffic in front to move. Guy behind doesn't. BHAM.

                            On inspecting tonight the damage isn't as bad as I first thought - just the bumper really (has dislodged it and scratched it). And the number plate (all crooked and broken).

                            Getting assessed tomorrow.

                              Yesterday - had the 35% window tint applied.

                              Paid a substantial amount less than the stealer's ask of $700.

                              Installer swore he'd never do another Golf, especially as he normally only does industrial windows. My job was a favour
