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,

    Yes i went to Clark's rubber bought some 8cm high high density foam placed it around the edge of the boot floor and cut the 7mil MDF to suite the higher floor and replaced the carpet over it .

      No i used the carpet as a templete but only cut it 1.010 m wide other wise it wont fit through the boot opening.

      • Had a full set of Kumho KU31s (Ecsta SPTs) fitted to the oiler after a mammoth 80,000kms from the original CSC2s. AMAZING!!!! And they still had a good 2mm left i reckon.

        I had them changed as I have a 5month old and figured a new set was a good saftey call. I am still so blown away by 80,000kms though, thats awesome. I doubt i'll even get half that from the Kumhos.

          CSC2 are TW ~240? Khumo are TW ~320-360. I think you'll still get 80,000km again.
          I bought some 2nd hand wheels with (supposedly stuffed) KU31 - They had 3mm left until the TWIs (4.5mm total) and it took 10,000km to wear 1mm on the front - rotated them but bad edge wear from the previous owners car has cause the cords to show through & I have to chuck them. I think I could have probably got another 10,000km otherwise. TWI is 1.5mm but I find that anything less than 3mm is pretty dodgy in the wet

            80k? Was most of that done on the back of a truck?

            • honest long-haul highway stuff for about 75% and the other 25% is a mix of city driving morning and night for a good 25kms and 60kms of highway back home (I travel almost 2 hours each way each day for work, plus seeing clients all over town).

              • LOL my CSC2s lasted me 1200kms you must drive it like an old lady or just freewheel everywhere lol but good on you wish my tyres lasted that long. If you think the KU31 is good get the KU36s heaps better grip

                            Ouch... that's terrible. It's awful to see Jettas go this way.
                            Can you share with us what happened?

                              That is horrible! Ohhh the humanity...

                              I can only assume it has something to do with the P plate. (jokes, kinda)
