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,

What did you do to your Polo today?

              Now just trying to figure out wether I need to finish my exhaust (cat back, turbo -> cat is done) prior to getting tweak done to the tune. TBH I probably sound like an old fool by saying I like the exhaust note as it is.... quiet

                • Finally got my wheels yesterday so test fit today and got bolt holes drilled to accept 14mm bolts. Just need to get some taper seat bolts to suit now. Only bolts I could find locally are too long.



                  8" wide et32... Going to be tight! Probably need to give the guards some more love..

                              • Yeah it was a bit of a gamble to be honest. If worst comes to absolute worst ill sell them or go s2000 Polo guards
