Announcement

Collapse

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,

    Not the worst thing to happen tbh. Gut it then and run without.

    Incidentally, I have heard that more than half of all VWs seen by a person I think we both know and use products and services from, with PPFs actually have nothing in the PPF canisters (as in they are hollow from the factory), so you likely won't damage anything.

        Oh wow so lots of them are actually empty? Thats interesting. I guess you could tap on the canister and get a reasonable idea if its hollow or not?

          Yes, when they come off to be replaced with a downpipe, it seems a lot of them are totally empty.
