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,

  • I have the stock 19's on my GTI Performance and wheel hop was an issue under heavy acceleration from a stand still or slow-ish roll. I now have a dog-bone insert and the wheel hop is almost a non-issue, and that's with a JB1 adding more power.

    Highly recommended upgrade.

      Ah awesome, will definitely look at installing one.

      Anyone know what a shop might charge to install it for you? Don't want to risk it without a torque wrench.

          I got mine from US while I was travelling, a whole lot cheaper than anyone in Australia. For installation, I had my mechanic do it up for me while putting on my flow design lip, didn't charge me a thing coz it was too simple of a job lol.

                • After 18 months of WRX ownership, I've decided to get back into a GTI. It'll just be a regular one this time (my last was a PP).

                  Looking forward to quality plastics and materials, and a smooth ride!

                  • I ordered a new GTI 3 weeks ago. It should be arriving sometime this week. I never had PP as an option. I was pretty disappointed when I was told, but I'm out of a car and need one so I really can't wait.

                      There is no longer a PP for the MY17. I believe the LSD is now standard. Other changes are a more low profile rear view mirror and something else I can't recall.

                        Will my car be a MY17? Or is there a chance it's MY16? Sorry if that's a stupid question. Also where did you get the info about the LSD? I haven't heard about that yet.

                        Edit: I think the other change is they removed the lock from the glove box.

                          I don't remember seeing LSD becoming standard on the GTI as they want to keep it exclusive to the ED40. But I could be wrong. But I know they got rid of the PP to make space for ED40

                            It's a shame they got rid of the PP because of the ED40, I would of added the package. I'm not real keen on the 40 but I appreciate that it's an awesome car.

                            Wish I got in earlier, such is life.

                              The ED40 is one heck of a car. If only my other half isn't so reasonable I would have traded in my PP.
                              Haha, how I want that turbo in my car
