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,

    Few pics:




    Used a drift catch can re-polished it, added a drain petcock with a hose run to the bottom of car so when I need to drain it drop a pan on the ground and drain it, easy as. Put in a check valve to stop the boosted pressure from back charging the tank.
    And than added bling.

    Finished engine bay:



    Hope you all approve

      Wow that engine bay is looking so sexy, you must have been a busy man

      Can I ask how you run the Diverter valve on fully venting.
      My car idles funny when venting to atmosphere, if you come up to a set of lights, say at 4000rpm and push the clutch in, it will stall

                  About the 42DD catch can, it is a good looking piece, it looks very well projected, but where is the space to put it? I’m removing lots of stuff from the engine bay, but I’m not being able to clear a big site for a descent catch can.

                  Returning the fumes to the intake is not an option… I removed the entire stock breathing system to clear the intake of any impurity.

                  Dump the fumes to the exhaust pipe is in my opinion the best choice.

                  I use it in my other car and I had tried to use it in the Polo, but in the Polo it was restricting… the valve was holding 0,2bar inside the engine.. It was doing more harm them good. The solution was to use two valves… but once again I have the lack of space.

                  I've read a few people feeding it into the dump / exhaust on an angle to help get rid of the fumes, makes sense if done right...

                  I'm going to make a dodgy DIY can to see what happens, welcome the siver bullet;

                    Best space would be where the secondary pump is / was. well, I have not planed it, but that's the only space I've made for it.
