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,

  • Fitted a Forge Twintake on Sunday. Very happy with it so far. Quite noisy, but my car kind of is anyway.

      Hey John!

      That looks really cool man!, I can't imagine the noise sporty?

      Nice job!

      Cheers!

        • installed jetex panel filter

          replaced the stock paper filter on the GTI with a high flow gauze filter by jetex. pulling the engine cover off was fun...but successfully got it off without breaking anything. (thanks to jmac for the tips).

          can say there is a noticable difference... a little intake whine, and improved throttle response in low revs. enough to get a smile.

          only wanted to do a basic mod as the car is going to the mrs this year...

                  • Got my HPA KW SHS coilovers fitted to my R32 today. Extremely happy with result! Car sits much better on the road now. Feels really good dynamically especially through windy hills. Its not the "on-rails" feeling that i had with the lib but somehow a more palatable blend of tight handling without compromising comfort. One thing I noticed is when I started the car, the huge reduction in vibration and shudder, can hardly hear that the motor is running! And that horrible underdamped feel is gone!

                    Oh, I did manage to get a scrape from the front wheels under hairpin tight turns under hard acceleration, not sure if this is an issue yet.

                      • Yes, this is more of a brag wall than much else.

                        • This week I installed a Carbonio intake, had a ATP 3" Downpipe and 3" Custom cat back done by Geoff Noakes at Powertone in Phillip, and had a Peter Shelly at CVWC Belco apply the APR software to suit the hardware on my pirelli gti and all I can say is GEEEEEEZUZ!! Sounds great and drives fast!

                            • Bought the Golf a Camper Trailer. Booked in at the Pt Pirie CP over Easter to give it a try out. Really looking forward to this, haven't been able to do it since the sale of the T4 Transporter. Driving home this morning, the Golf didn't know the trailer was hooked on.
