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,

    Was reading through the brochure last night, and reading all the standard kit that comes with a GTI.

    Heated mirrors, mats, 8 speaker system, leather gear knob, aluminum peddles....etc. Made me realize I made the right choice and I got a lot more for my money then what I would if i had gone for the Lancer, plus when I take the polo in for trading it will actually still be worth something.

            All I know is that it costs $20 for the bottle if you want to keep that smell. It is nice though.

                  I'm only down to 1/2 after a year in my golf, but then again I don't drive it very much

                      hey shhplit, not too sure if you are looking for a specific brand or whatnot, but i just get this stuff called 'polyglaze invisible glass' from kmart/ autobarn. like 7 bucks a bottle, and you put 150mls in the bottom of every tank of wiper water- does the job great and smells good too.

                      i've had my car for 4 months and been through about 8-10 tanks of wiper water, and this stuff lasts/ works quite well in my book.

                          Do our cars have heated mirrors?

                            • WHAT I LUV ABOUT MY Polo GTI

                              hmmm well where do i begin as i did upgrage from a 01 VX commodore!!!

                              *i love the way it handles i do give it a bit of stick from time to time and it is such a lil pocket rocket

                              *you can feel that it has been well made for the price you pay and if you compare it to something like a swift sport German Engineering is something like no other

                              i just love the detailing with the GTI model as it makes you stand out i could go on and on so i will just say i love EVERYTHING anout my POLO!!!

                              best car ever!!!!

                              • hey shhplit man...

                                yeah- next time you run out of wiper water, just pour a sixth of a bottle of the polyglaze down the water pipe, then top up with water, diluting the mix....

                                then, its clean, clear shiny windscreen (where the blades rub, lol) anytime you want- splattered bugs come off nicely, too, with just a flick of the wiper stick.

                                its pretty good. i had the stuff in my vr6... and my hand-me-down discovery... works great. and easily accessible..
