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,

          • this photo seems to show a bit of room - maybe for a catchcan for those that are going that way and looking for a place to put it

              Thanks mate. Been wanting to do this since the very beginning but didn't like the idea of using a smaller battery and high cost of install due to fabrication of the battery holder/clamp. Didn't revisit this idea until recently learning of the availability of this new oval design which got me thinking. According to volkspower, mines the first installed on a polo (well aust anyways). The traditional cda have gone down in price.
              Actually these new compact oval type ones are more expensive than the round cylindrical ones as they retail between $599-$629 depending on size (ours is the latter) compared to $350 to $450 for the cda.

                Yeah that was the first thing that came to mind when the air box was removed. Get plenty of room now to fit anything significant. Actually it now kinda feels like somethings missing. Any ideas guys?

                              • Nice rims. That's the good thing about the white, you can pick any colour for your rims.

                                What's the rubber?
