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,

  • Weird sound from Man GTI.

    Was driving my GTI earlier & spiritedly accelerated off at the traffic lights in 1st, it was a little bit slippery as it had started to sprinkle rain. the Traction light came on, the car did a little burn out and at the same time produced a loud 'pop pop pop'

    I drive a manual & have an upgraded exhaust, it does produce overrun pops around 3800rpm.

    I know the DSG does the 'fart' when driving but can the man GTI's do it? as Im hoping it was just the exhaust making the pops!

    It's just the traction control cutting ignition. It's normal.
