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,

      • Just received my redline MTL and Mobil 1 ESP synethic oils. I was going to change the oils today, but then realise I didn't have a 17mm hex socket. A lazy Friday it is!

        • Got my bluetooth OBDII adaptor so that I could watch what is going on in the brains of the little Polo. Quite surprised to see boost peak at 30.6 psi! Mind you this was second gear so I am going for a bit of a run tomorrow to do some more "testing"

          • Scrubbed in my new semi-slicks and rebedded my brake pads on the 6R Polo cruise (upholding the honour of the 9N3's )

            Found a screw in one of my daily drive tyres when refitting them after the cruise

              That's wrong, there's something not right in that app. Mine reads wrong at idle so I don't trust it at all. You would see less boost in 2nd than 3rd or 4th. I think there's a way to calibrate the app but never bothered to look.

              If it was making 30PSI, it wouldn't be long before the turbo gave up or you ran into the back of something.

              thezoner32 has a VCDS if you want to check it properly.

                  • Hi Guy's, a reunion,
                    I wish my reunion was a cheery one but after many hours of wheel change any making my car look the best it has in a while, I had the misfortune of stacking it, mostly cosmetic a left front wheel, front guard, the whole front, hood, a pillar, door, rear Q panel, radiator, FMIC and piping, and all the airbags on the passenger side. I should have her up and running in the next 6 months. she may not be painted though. So much to be said for the semi slicks, that was my down fall. Just changed back to the Works and not semi's.

                    Still love the way she makes me feel.

                    Cheers Van

                      I was going to say how good it was to see you on here, but not with that news.
                      Want to share what happened with us, what did you hit, a tree?
                      Poor polo, oh and glad to hear your ok

                      • Nothing that solid, but it has left dents and scars from the front thru the left side to the rear bumper, will have to replace rear quarter panel, door, front quarter panel, hood, front clip, seat, and all the left hand air bags, going around a round-a-bout one that i have done a hundred times and at speed 120-130 with the semi's, but when I changed to the show wheels she no stick to the ground anymore, not all bad this will get me of my ars_ to pump the guards, get the new wheels, bag it and finish the interior so that I can compete with your rad ride. Im so looking forward to more mods.

                        Cheers

                                Used a 4mm base plate and had it laser cut, also has feet welded underneath and is bolted tight from underneath the car also, so no bolts can be seen
