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,

    • After a wonderful weekend watching Sydney FC win the A-league grand final I return to Sydney to find that my Mrs has run my front left wheel along the gutter "just a little scratch" I am told - no, it is big scratches half way up two spokes !! **** !!

      So this morning I dropped the wheel off at Magman at Punchbowl to get it fixed ... 2 wheels she has done this to now

      Anyways, for any Melbourne Victory fans on here - FTT !

      • Drove the last two tanks with my instant fuel up on the MFD for a change. Still driving white knuckle when I want to, I managed to drop my fuel consumption from my average of 8.69L/100km over the last 15,000km to 7.7L/100km and 7.52L/100km over the last two tanks. Pretty big drop in consumption by being just a little more conscious of throttle position/gear.

          Hey mate, out of interest, are these the standard Polo GTI wheels, and if so, how much do they charge for this? I've also got a wheel with some gutter rash. Only on the very edge of the wheel though - not up the spokes!

            $100 and I get it back on Wednesday afternoon. Not bad considering the way it was scraped. Had a mate go there with just the edge scrape and it was $70 or so.

                  • Speaking of pro's, had mine professional detailed today. Came up looking a treat - the paint has never been this smooth or glossy, and the wax hasn't even cured yet.

                            He's mobile mate. Dave from Waxit Car Care recommended him.

                            PS: did you get my PM the other day??

                                Haha. Unfortunately the only place to park my car is on the main street. And at night, it's usually the only one out there -- poor girl, she's a sitting duck. She's been hit 5 times in less than a year.

                                I keep wanting to do the car cover, but I keep being told not to due to it doing more damage that without.
