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,

    That said, it's always interesting when you forget to turn the heaters off in the seats then start to wonder why on earth your backside is cooking

    Hmm come to think of it, those seat warmers would be useful for when you're driving home with pizza/kebabs, save them getting cold

        so that's another reason to not buy a used car, just incase someone's been driving around bare arse with the heaters on, hahaha.


        I wanted a sunroof, but realised my head would touch the roof when wearing a helmet (on trackdays), darn it.

          I first saw the seats on a blue Polo, thought to myself how crap they looked.

          When I test drove my car, somehow the seats suited the red. They don't frey and suit the interior IMO. each to their own.

          I don't mind leather, but I can be a sweaty boy and I don't want the added weight of seat warmers (I know its not much, but every kg counts).

            Plus, heated seats have been linked to a reduced sperm count so that is another plus for cloth.

            you could save the 3k for leather and spend it on Blistein PS9's.

              Yeah I always thought the cloth pattern suited my car in silver.

              And +1 on the sweating thing, especially after I leave the gym

                I don't plan to have kids so it's another option instead of the snip.

                  Just recline the seat way back like a wog in a WRX

                  Or hunch yourself way down when the CAMS officials walk past (like I had to in my old Mx5 to get the top of my helmet under the cage )

                    Hahaha, yup, cos holding the bottom of the steering wheel and looking out the back windows is the way I roll.

                    Funny you mention the WRX. Ever sat in a WRX with a sunroof, my head touches without a helmet. So buy a used WRX with a sunroof from a tall guy. but I'm now going off topic.

                      Really? How tall are you?

                      I used to own a MY05 WRX WRP10 which didn't have a sunroof and it had plenty of head room for me (I'm 5'10).

                      Mind you, my Polo which actually had a sunroof has slightly more head room than I had in the WRX. But the Polo is quite a tall car.

                        Try sitting in an AW11 MR2

                        Mine is the hardtop model which has the most headroom, would be fun trying to wear a helmet in a sunroof/targa model!

                          I'm 6', have short arms, a long torso and sit quite upright. Gotta love the adjustability of the seats in the polo.
