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,

        • Great piece of kit you got there Greg. Happy days coming up for you
          Be interesting to hear your thoughts on the handling after installation.

          • This morning I finally got around to having my Golfs front passenger side door lock/mechanism replaced, work performed by our fellow forum member vdubmotorworx (Pete) in Brisbane.

            Pete made the job look easy, fast and efficient, he really knows his stuff, I suppose that comes with many years servicing VW's.

            Also got to meet his pal Tom, another top bloke

                  • Mine decided to breakdown along the Great Western Highway at Woodford on the way back to Sydney.



                    Lost power and the engine started vibrating badly, and my best friend the "check exhaust" warning light started flashing at me. Diagnosed by the NRMA as a misfire in cylinder 3 caused by a faulty coil pack, so they're all getting replaced. Back up to Springwood tomorrow to pick it up.

                      • Today I fixed a rattle that had been doing my head in. After taking the dash apart, glove box out and fiddling with the fuel lines under the car, it turned out to be the passenger side wheel well liner. One of the screws had popped out so it was a very easy fix.

                        Hopefully this saves someone else some time and rattle based headaches.
