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,

  • Sad - a whole month with nothing new posted

    The modded GTi run by my son is such a joy and I have been a regular forum reader since we first got it.

    OK, it is an old platform and the bulk of the posts are by a couple of you tracking the polo to the limits and keeping us informed of the mods. Even Gav is nowhere to be seen these days (disappeared Underground).

    Sad - RIP 9N3 forum.

    Most of the traffic has moved to facebook groups. Sad because it's a inferior format and much harder to moderate (the same questions get asked every day.. its a complete cluster f**k).

      Everything has been slow, still missing a lot of bits and pieces to finish the car. Praying that I'll get everything before June, fin the uni semester and finish the car for once
      Did a H&R lowering spring swap for a mate yesterday, he's very happy. Have vogtland coilovers coming for me
      Literally nothing else is happening

      As Grant has mentioned, Facebook is everyone's go to for questions, Gav is there a lot if you're in the right 9n3 groups

          I'm still here. Haven't got time to work on my car so nothing of value to post.
          Still tuning polo GTIs around the country.
          Working 6 days a week and bring hands on in the workshop doesn't leave much quality time for family . I check into the forum once a day at least .

            I know Gavin - I could not help adding you to the mix.

            The Polo was tuned at Underground.

              Good stuff Simon. When mine comes out of the car soon I'm going to bung it in a saucepan with a thermometer and see if adding shims to preload the spring wont let me alter the cracking temp. Any idea what temp yours is?

                  Sam - your down the rabbit hole journeys with Sydneykid input keep this section alive.

                      I remember your name from trolling through the threads when I started with my Polo back in 2014. You had a stg 2'er that did alright at the dyno days even against the K04-001 car yeah?

                        Yup, I owned it from new for 3 years, sold it to my brother who had it for 3, bought it back and drove it for 2 more years, before selling it in 2013 (65,000km only). It now has ~185,000km, so if it comes back it will need some love ... and a stg 3 upgrade with fully worked engine.

                        Have too many cars already, but always loved the little GTI so there is a distinct possibility it will happen. Just need this COVID rubbish to die down.
