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,

    Wen't on the VW cruise today and was the only Polo there. Where are they all!!!

      Welcome!

      G'day and welcome. It doesn't surprise me that Polos weren't well represented at the gtg. This forum was started because water cooled VWs tend to be ignored by the Greater VW Community.

      It sounds like you are getting enormous fun from your car. Good to hear.
      Keep posting, spread the word of our existence and enjoy your time on this forum.

            Thanks for the welcome!

            Unfortunatley I cannot upload any pictures of my car as the pictures are to big!

            I resized them but the file size is to large.

              Pic size and file size

              For screen size read this
              http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newf...read.php?t=776

              To reduce file size you'll need to either use a graphics programme or use a photo-hosting site like "Photobucket" that allows file size reduction.

                      Welcome to the family

                      Did they change the cup holder design in the Polo from the MKIV? havent seen many problems with the IV cars and cup holders?

                          They are totally different to the mk4 ones. Very plasticy too. The mk 4 ones are very good, I miss it in the mk5. Cup holders in the mk5s are best between the legs!!! Not a rude comment either!!

                            Hi everyone,

                            I would just like to say hello and mention I too am a proud new owner of a black 06 Polo GTI!

                            I picked it up last friday and I'm always looking for excuses to take it for a cruise. My previous car was a 1998 200SX and although the little GTI is not as quick as the 200SX it makes up for it in other aspects. Very happy with it!!!!

                            Glad to have finally found a forum with fellow Polo GTi owners.

                            Anyone from Sydney perhaps?

                              Welcome SidGTI hope your happy with the little beats any thoughts about an APR Flash at ll might make you think twice twice about the 200sx comment . This is good to see so many polos out there now must be selling well in Aus. Any questions about anything please ask cheers Rob.
