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 All!

    Hey all,
    Just wanted to send a quick hello and introduce myself.
    I've been reading these forums for ages and have found some absolutely awesome and sound advice in them. When i say ages i've been reading ever since i ordered the car....that was in mid october...it should arrive in mid jan they tell me....i'm so incredibly excited...
    Well i guess you want to know about my car...
    It's a flash red Polo TDi with 17" Siata rims...also will feature a 12" Clarion Sub-woofer in box paired with a 200W Clarion Amp...(already bought for an absolute bargain $269, just waiting for the car, boxing day sales...what would i do without them)
    Will post pics as soon as i actually get the car and have the sub installed.
    Just a quick question...does anyone know what model CD tuner is stock...i know it's a Blaupunkt 2-Din unit but little more....does it have and RCA outlet or will i need a splitter?
    Well...i've noticed that my introduction is a lot longer than everyone elses so i'll leave it at that...i look forward to talking to you guys (and gals GTIGRL)more...
    Thanx,
    P.S sorry...one more question...anyone know who imports JE-Design kits to Aus...???
    P.P.S another one....anyone got any idea how much the oettinger flash is for the TDi from volkspower in burwood?
    THANX!!!

    Welcome mate, I too have a flash red Polo TDi but unfortunately not with the 17's (still working on Dad for that one )
    I dont need to tell you how much of a fantastic car it is... Youll love it more and more the longer you own it.
    As far as the CD goes i havent studied it that closely i've been more interested in the engine i guess and driving the rings off it to the suprise of BMW's and Commodore's.
    As for the Oettinger flash i think it would be around $2k give or take a coupla hundred... But not really sure.
    There isnt that many Polo TDi's lurking round out our way so if u see one say hi cos it's bound to be me (with the L plates up) or my dad

        Welcome! More TDI's are popping up! (Although i still think the GTI's still outnumber the TDI's..hehe) Good to hear but!

        Enjoy your stay here mate. Everyone here is very helpful. =)

          Slipped through....

          Missed your first post mate, so a belated welcome! You won't be disappointed with the TDI. A wise choice and very economical. I can't understand why VW didn't slot the 2.0 16v TDI into a "sports" model and call it a GTD. Now that would be quite a performer
          If you intend to keep the car run it in carefully. It's a difficult thing to do as all the diesel wants to do is goooooooooo

              I dont think we have done that comparision actually? Could be wrong though!

              And I'm curious to find out more about JE Designs Berulai....do they make bodykits for our little pocket rocket?

                Body kits

                Yeah Sid, JE-Design make the absolute best bodykit for the polo i have seen yet and they say that they import to australia but i am yet to find who brings them in for us...



                Also i haven't seen anyone show this kit yet but there is also one done by Caractere (another german company)



                Hope you guys (and gals) like em as much as i do. It's next on my list!

                  dont mind em but i think the exhausts should go straight up the middle if u go the diesel go a full 3" system straight off the turbo!!!!
                  that body kit looks pretty good
