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,

        • One of the nuts for my UB Unibrace broke the top off. I made some nice S.S. nuts to fit and fitted them today. This is a pic of the nuts I made. From what I have been told, only the braces with the spacers get the special nuts, no spacers no nuts. One of the old nuts is in the pic for reference.

          • Nice. I guess there is less traffic up there to worry about. Remember the first rule of flying: Keep off the edges

              • Did the timing belt and water pump today....why is it always just one bolt that causes you hassles, apart from that all went smoothly. So much easier than the jap cars I've done in the past.

                        • Very easy... Took 5 mins... And I was being careful...pryed in two spots at back with trim tool and and then pulled down at front underneath mirror

                          Wasn't as quick video, but you get the idea

                          • Gave her a clean...


                            Removed 18kg of trim from the back. put in a really light weight PET boot floor.



                            Removed the valve cover filler tube extension.

                            crappy pic



                            Deleted fog lights. placed a 1ohm resistor in the globe fitting so it would think a globe is still present and not throw a ''light out'' on the dash.
