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,

    Was quoted 4 x Continental Contisportcontact 5 (Original factory rubber on the Lakeville 18" rims) including alignment & balancing for $1,000 at my local VW Dealer Service Center about a month or so ago at my 30,000km service. Tyres are getting close to 60% worn now. Hoping to stretch them as close as possible to 45,000km and change all four for newies just before my road trip to SA, NSW, ACT & VIC and back to WA.

    The dealer was cheaper than BJTMs!!

    1981 Honda Civic hatch. Proper AUTO REVERSE cassette player. AM/FM with Stereo speakers. Four (yep, FOUR!) speed manual. Full cloth trim seats. HALOGEN lightbulbs! Factory options fitted: rear wipers and washer, "Go Fast" wheel covers & electric front windows.

      If you can get them for $1k then grab them (maybe take them loose with a promise to fit/align later). The cheapest I can find is $1270 for the same package (and their alignments I wouldn't trust)

        Brad, you have no idea how much I was tempted! I had to pass because (1) the contis I have on atm still have sufficient legal tread and grip very well and (2) I'd like to set off on my trip with new tyres and full tread and (3) don't have the space to store 4 loose tires for the next 4 - 5 months

        If anyone in WA is interested in knowing more info about the deal I was quoted, PM me
