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,

  • Trickle charger

    hey folks,
    i for years have had trickle chargers on my motorcycles and i leave my tig for up to 4-5 days at a time, Im wondering can you use any of the 12v outlets to place a trickle charger on, or does the computer think some strange thing is happening?

    Also on that point of Flat batteries, as the tig has no key entry how do you get into a locked car with a flat battery??

    regards

    You're about the 10th person I've seen make that mistake. I could just be rude and say "if all else fails read the instructions" but cos it's Friday I'll take it easy on you:

    There IS a key hole BUT it's covered with a little clip on cover at the end of the door handle. Open the cover and use the key OK

    Cheers

      And as for the trickle charger I would recommend CTEK, it comes with the connector that you can connect to the battery and you can just plug the connector from CTEK to charge and maintain your battery.


      MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.
