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,

        Hopefully the Mk III will be active with my son. Of course I'll still have an interest in Mk IIIs.

          Nice addition to the Polo's that are slowly but gradually increasing in number. My mate's ordered his Polo GTI yesterday and is hopefully getting prior to xmas.

          Minor mods such as a Whiteline RSB should help the car with decreased body-roll and less understeer, which I'm sure is a desireable effect when driving any vehicle (which I'm sure the mrs will agree to when you explain it to her and tries it before and after it's on).

          Going on the topic of audio - there is only a 4 speaker system running in the car. There are the two tweeters mounted on your A pillar and your mid-range drivers which are located in your doors. The rears are surprisingly blanks with no line out for speakers. Thus if you were serious about sound then you'd have to re-route your own speaker cables in.

          I know this because I've fully modified my 9n3's audio equipment, and also had to work on a 9n2 with less minor audio modifications. However, it wouldnt actually be difficult to run a 5.1 system if you were game and that's IF the mrs will let you anywhere near the car with the intention of pulling it apart

            Took some pics when we went in to sign the papers.






            Tyres are the same size as the Golf III. I think I have about a year to make up my mind if I put 15" on.

              It will be delivered next week after some issues have been repaired. Julia can't wait.

              I was surprised (pleasantly) how much room in the front and the quality feel. I'm not that sure if it will even match the "performance" of the 1.8 Golf III, but if it does, it'll be a great car.

              I really like the look of the new ones, and I would have liked a TDi. I may try & interchange the tail lights with the new model.

                Hey Maris I totally agree with you

                Polo's Ergonomics are best in Class IMO
