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,

                  Im sure i could write some up from memory but i think i used the instructions from the mk4 forum for my first go. And samco make a half hose but when i was researching them it wasn't a good alternative.

                      I was looking at guide off the mrk4 side. looks simpler then i thought, i was looking at it last night i thought "wtf i cant see the turbo" so seriouslly do u need to go from under the car or can it be done from top.

                          Note: does the TIP for the polo need the 25 to 19mm adaptor?

                            Sorry to disagree sharkie but i have done 5 (i think) and have always done them from the top.

                            ill sit done and write up something basic, but a handy tip that was given to me was when fitting the hose onto the turbo use a little bit of soapy water (very little soap needed) this way itll eveaporate before you finish the job. and its a tight squeeze.

                            My first one took me 7hrs when i was really sick, buy the end i think i had them down to 90min all going to plan. eddy or dave might remember.

                            As for the connector i have only ever got the ones that are ment for the Polo/Ibiza in which are a direct fit.

                              I'd imagine you'd get better at it Shane...

                              But this is his 1st one and might take him a bit of time. For me it was initially too difficult to do all from the top and had to do a bit from the bottom. Even Jmac had issues and had to do some from the bottom on my 2nd fitting.

                              Its not easy.... BUT like with all things with practice you'd obviously get better at it.

                                Yeah i agree you do get better with practice, but i dont see the advantage of doing it from underneath. As you said its blind anyway and with good daylight from the top at least you can see where its got to go. Anyway what ever works i guess.
