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,

    • New Bilstein coilovers in (threw the rear adjusters away!)

      Ferodo DS2500s on

      Slotted rotors on

      New Bridgestone RE002s on (they hacked my wheels, thanks)

      Wheel alignment - still not right though.

            He's a believer, nice plates...

            Looks odd, makes me wonder if it would look cool dropped.

                    • Started by wiping down the window surrounds to install my weathershields and ended up doing:
                      • a snow foam pre-wash
                      • two bucket shampoo
                      • pressure rinse
                      • towel down
                      • full clay bar
                      • and seal/glaze

                      (I was bored and it started raining just after I'd finished rinsing so I just kept going )

                      Troy will read this and say BULL$HIT!!

                        • You've seen how I normally neglect the exterior of my car, Troy

                          Family had me tied to the house but without a lot to do...

                          Anyway, I tried to record my efforts last night but it didn't work very well


                          So I went out with the camera again this morning and unfortunately, all the cleaning did was bring out the nicks, scratches and swirl marks




                          Very true, the old saying that
                          You can't polish a turd

                          • Finally installed the vented rear brakes (TT / VRS / Mk4 Anniv).
                            Struggled with a few items along the way (dificult bolts, caliper retracting process, originally tried the quattro carriers and spacers - does not work) but all good now.

                            Whilst peak braking performance is probably no different, the more even braking bias is noticeable. That was the focus, the nose heavy toy does not need and more weight shift to the front). At 52k kms my rear rotors still look new, 25% of the original pads left.
