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,

        • New R car mats, love them that much

          Getting back to the serious stuff, had to take one of the headlight units out to fit something

          Do they self level and align as there was a bit of play in the bolts but I've got it close to where it was.

          • I'd have the fully optioned GTI too, just add Stage 1 or maybe a bit more and I'd be sweet. I've seen quite a few R's on the roads and none of them drive with any vim; they might as well be in a 90TSI.

            Obviously I haven't come across Fab_R in my travels yet
            Some say he was the Stig... all we know is that he drives a VW Transporter.

                Yep mats are nice. What were you fitting that required a headlight removal?

                    Given that they don't have the adjuster as in the MKV non xenons, I woul assume that they are self leveling.

                        AFAIK it's a requirement of ADRs that cars fitted with xenon headlights must be self levelling. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!

                          No, your observation about Rs is quite correct, we don't stoop to exposing the full capability to lesser cars, what's the point..

                            Thanks

                            Knew they did the start up leveling process but wasn't sure how good it was (I couldn't get them back to the exact same fitting location so assumed the leveling function would sort it)

                              Not sure why you would need to remove the headlights to fit your new floor carpets, but then I'm not a mechanic*

                                LOL, something finally funny to laugh about, instead of the obvious trolling
                                I am guessing Candyman put some ricer blue LEDs into his headlight housing where the small extra light is that isn't hooked up to anything.
