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,

              • Over the weekend I pulled out most of the dash, battery, windscreen wipers (don't ask) half of the steering column cover, air intake and multiple lights and switches; just to fit a boost gauge. Seriously the worst job I've ever had to do.

                And the new steering wheel cover doesn't match the existing colour, so I have to get some paint made up next weekend.

                I also replaced my side mirror indicators and rear licence plate lights. Quite a good weekend I guess...

                      Could have been worse. You could have run down a pedestrian I guess.

                      More expensive would have been if the coppers saw you. $225 + 3 points IIRC

                        Sooooo nice, but...... maybe I'm showing my age, the towhook is a definite fail.
