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,

    Hey guys, having a few issues with the wagon ticking over. Once its going, generally runs ok, but warm or cold kicking it over sounds cringe worthy. I am in the process of working out how to upload a video, but im starting to not want to start it the car at all now. It's due for a service, but i dont feel its THAT due.
    I let it warm up a bit longer with the glow plugs, but it makes no difference if its warm or cold.
    Runs like a dog at low revs when its cold, but if i leave it in sports, at higher revs, no problems.
    Hopefully some of this sounds common...

    This vision is the bearable sound.. it has been worse, where it just wont start at all.. But that first sound when it kicks over is the point of concern.
