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,

      • Whats with some people upgrading the DV? What is the reason?
        Is this something I need to mention when I get my car tuned at the tuner? (APR stage 1)

        I'm new to this car and engine.

          Performance wise I'm not too sure but it was quoted that it'll hold the boost more when you're changing gear (manual) in DSG I don't think you'll get too much benefit out of it. I did it because... I was bored. Sound difference was close to none

                  • Look good but not worth the $$$

                    Overpriced, must have something to do with apr and brembo logos on the same product

                    • Ive heard the same thing about the Brembo kit. Apparently the Stoptech is much better.

                      I plan on getting the Flow front lip as soon as I make some modifications to my drive way (I got some digging to do haha)

                      • Yeah the vwr kit is the best to go for

                        Flow lip looks mint

                        • I have the flow design front lip/side skirt ready to fit but moved into a different rental for 6 months so cant fit it due to the driveway
                          Depending on how good my tax return is the VWR BBK is definitely the only brake kit on my shopping list.

                          • Vwr is also re build able unlike a lot of others

                            Same goes with the vwr coilovers against the kW ones, kW aren't rebuild able have to buy 4 more if shocks fail

                              I got the same dilemma my friend. My driveway is a little too steep, but its only dirt and rubble, so when I get some motivation I'll dig it out by hand.

                              If anyone else has the Flow front lip or sideskirts fitted on their car, I would appreciate some photos. I have tried searching but have only been able to find the 3 photos on the white golf R(on the Flow website) and the little video posted above.
