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,

    I work at Southbank, I've seen your car around a few times now. Haven't seen miss_gti's though. If you ever see a stock standard silver Polo GTI covered in red berries and bird mess, it's mine. Moore St is a bastard!

    • Did the 'accelerate without the accelerator' trick, amazed me how the car can get up to 35km/h in 5th without a single push of the go pedal, brilliant engine

              • Spent a few hours washing the brake dust off the S3 brakes that I bought, and getting them ready for paint... Discovered that the dishwasher isn't the greatest place to wash the brake backing plates... I really need a garage!!!

                    Hahahaha... It's the good thing about being single... No annoying whining sound in the background, or having to justify what I buy for the car....

                        You probably haven't seen my car around because I don't really get a chance to drive it much, except on weekends and weeknight grocery runs!

                              • ^^Those wheels have scrubbed up nicely^^

                                For the first time in ages I have something to add to the thread. The cars booked in with Jimmy tomorrow for a tune (superchip), diverter valve and TIP. Got slotted front rotors and Remsa pads going on the front and adding a sway bar to the rear. Has taken some time to bite the bullet, so looking forward to a drive over the weekend and hitting the track in August.
