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,

  • anyone who can give advice on ko4 install!

    Hey Guys,

    Im going to be installing a KO4 on the polo soon.

    Myself and a mate will be doing it to keep us occupied

    Although almost every time we start these kinds of projects, we ALWAYS hit some sort of problem.
    So im just wondering if anyone can assist if they know little tricks to make the job easier.

    Anything to also look out for during the install would be great.

    Cheers guys.

      Make sure you have new studs gaskets and most importantly crush washers for the banjo fittings.

        Sorry, can't add any value to your question. Though it may also be a good opportunity to write up a DIY for others who want to embark on the project.

            Simple as this, same removal and install as Ko3. As someone has already said get your turbo to ex gasket, new washers, new stretch bolts, sealing washers for the oil and water pipes, prime yourself with the torque settings, with no manifold mods its not a bad job really, if you are doing it on the ground at home shade tree style then my opinion would be to drop your right hand side driveshaft to give yourself some room , the more room the merrier as you will see.
