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,

  • Problem Fitting new rear Wishbones

    Hi
    Have just got 2 new rear wishbones for my 2011 Tiguan FWD Diesel.
    The problem I have is that I can not align the holes up, one side is nearly a full hole out, I had to jack one side to lift that side to get the bolt through, but the Wishbone has ended up with a slight twist to it, and the clearance gap on the inner part is nearly touching the subframe with the car down and level standing has per pic attached.


    I have no idea how to rectifier this, or if this is normal !.
    ps: seem to be having a prob with uplaoding a pic !
    cheers
