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,

      That would haul with 340+ kw at the wheels. What a hoot. What turbo did you end up choosing?

            Washed the car a gave the exhaust tips a polish, it’s strange how the middle ones always get way dirtier than the outside ones, valves are always open. Should also have a stiffer rear sway bar coming in the next week or two as well

              Received and installed my rear sway bar yesterday, also did a haldex and DSG service in preperation for euro day at lakeside on the weekend. Stayed up to 10.30pm finishing it off, so hopefully I didn’t forget to do any bolts up haha

                The 034 swaybar is a nice upgrade over the factory hollow swaybar isn't it. They are very nice quality parts.

                Did you clean the mesh screen filter thingy when you did your Haldex service? If not, it might be a good idea.

                  Yeah it seems like a very high quality piece for sure, setting up the adjustable end links was a bit fiddly but got there in the end. I did take the haldex pump and and gave it a good clean, it wasn’t too dirty but the fluid was definitely due for a change. Snaking the wiring harness over the propshaft and getting it back into its clips is a massive pain in the ass haha.
