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,

    • Took a punt and ordered some from ebay but no go they don't fit got a website that offers to check what fits so will send them a photo and see what they come up with
      Got a couple of hills on the way home that merge from 2 lanes to 1 and using the torque in 2nd and then holding in 3rd up the hill is exhilarating feels like liftoff on the spaceshuttle (without the explosion)lol
      Just a hassle to have to reach for the paddles instead of having them at your fingertips

        Someone has to be the pioneer we learn from. Good luck with that website...hopefully you won't have to resort to fitting a Golf R wheel!

        • RHD dead pedal replacement from AliExpress
          I can't believe that its actually perfect!
          Slightly slimmer than OEM but will look great with the new pedal caps when they come

                The dynaudio system is big $ to retrofit
                A aftermarket solution may be much cheaper

                  Yep, I started looking into this and was told in order to have the Dynaudio system in you'll also need the Discovery Pro. If I recall Monkey installed the sub and made a difference to the stock speakers due to the amp that comes with it, gave them a little bit more clarity.

                    Yeah, I'm aware of this, if I do do it then it won't be for a year or so. Hopefully it could be done for cheaper. I'll see how the stock speakers break in before I decide.

                          $92 is a little steep. Delivery was free on Ali, but I would have paid more as it is a great product
