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,

    The plan would be to use the Cupra copper colour. But was quoted $264/wheel to repaint the centre

        That’s ridiculous. Would powder coat be any cheaper?

          Couple of small changes to the rear. Swapped to gloss black rear spars and deleted the diffuser add-on. I much prefer the cleaner oem look

            Replaced to old battery today. Was definitely past it’s used by date, the positive terminal was cover so badly in corrosion . I don’t think it was even the correct battery in the first place and wasn’t coded to the car either. All sorted now





            Also my new co pilot

              Just pour some baking soda over a terminal like that and will clean it off

                Already done that a few times. The battery couldn’t hold a charge, would struggle to start the car and threw up a bunch of afs and hill hold errors this afternoon

                  That battery is fine for the Golf Mk7 - I run exactly the same Century DIN65LH AGM model in my MY18 Passat. The battery hold-down clamp and battery tray have different bolt holes to suit different size batteries for different applications.

                  Sounds like the battery is dead though, that's for sure.

                        Haha for sure, just need to get the fueling sorted and I can install it and get it tuned. Hopefully the stock engine can take it

                            Looks nice and shiny after the detail - good job.

                              yep still tracking the s3 but wasn't out much last year. I have a few plans for it this year and going to get to the track as much as possible...

                              it looks you've wasted no time on the new ride a usual. keen to see how that mahoosive turbo turns out, keep us posted...

                                New turbo is in along with bigger port injectors, bigger lpfp, 4 bar map sensors, flex sensor and a few other things. Got everything installed and tuned 999automotive with ecotune’s reflex stage 3 ecu and DSG tune. Car made around 310kw on 98 and around 345kw at the wheels on e85, they kept the power levels sensible to keep the stock engine in one piece. Really happy with how the car drives with the new setup and tune. Very civilised when just cruising around but goes crazy when putting your foot into it. You definitely notice the higher boost threshold with the bigger turbo but it comes on like a light switch around 4k rpm and pulls really strong all the way to redline. Super happy with the results and keen to get this thing to a track soon
