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,

                        • Golf 1.9 TDI Comfortline 2006
                          Two weeks driving back from Booleroo Centre the multi functions steering wheel (MFSW) controls failed.
                          Much to my disappointment I later realised that the horn had also failed.

                          I tried replacing the horn fuse (only $5 for a packet of fuses) - unfortunately this did not work.
                          Went on the forums and worked out the slip ring / clock spring or wiring may have failed but that telling sign is an airbag light on in the dash. Next morning I went to move the cars around, hey presto airbag light on.

                          Went to Duttons Volkswagen at Mount Barker who confirmed the slip ring had indeed failed after testing.
                          Purchased the part from Solitaire Volkswagen who I have contacts with (thanks if your reading this).
                          Duttons then fitted the part and tested - all fixed - thanks to Duttons for fitting us in so promptly on the diagnosis and fitting.
                          Next morning

                          • Fitted a new overrun pulley, tensioner and belt to my TDI tonight.
                            After 2 and a 1/2 year I finally found out what the annoying noise was when under load between 2000 and 2500rpm.
