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,

          • E.O.I. for my car - great for anyone who wants a car that has already had the work done for them or anyone wanting a great base to go a bigger turbo!

                Agreed, would be aiming a bit higher than that IMO.

                  Bumped it up a little. I know the car is probably worth more but realistically I probably won't be able to sell it for what it's worth.

                    Good time to sell with all of the attention the MCM one will recieve. The car is in the cyber-spotlight for a moment.

                            Jason, very nice GTi in Silver. You will be sorry selling it? Hard to get like yours so late in the model range and sorted with lots of goodies!

                            That said the Polo headlights are very poor in all our range, poor on low beam, better on high.

                            Are the 'Powervisions in H7, $49 at the moment (catalogue special) at Autobarn' worth it ??

                            Then there are the Off Road HID kits from $99.00???? Anyone tried these HIDs in the Polo?

                            I am also thinking of a LED strip combo pencil/wide lights, anyone researched LED driving lights to suit? '

                            Cheers Al

                              • Does anyone know of any GTIs currently wrecking around Sydney?

                                My indicator stalk has broken - the switch won't return after turning the wheel back (after taking a corner), and the whole thing is driving me mental.

                                Also if anyone's got access to ELSA to tell me the exact part number, that would be great. I am pretty sure it's 6Q0 953 503 CQ, but not certain. It may be BM going off auto-parts.spb.ru but I don't know how reliable that is.

                                Basically just looking for the cheapest way to get that damn indicator stalk assembly replaced.
