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 failed to mention that I'm going to look at some rims for a mates SP23. However I might be tempted...but I'd get 18's.

              No need to start a poll. This was taken Tuesday

                  They're not OZ rims. They are Sport Technic Mono10Vision.

                  • Is that the site you got them from? Or did you buy them here?

                    • The previous owner bought them. He had a mate who worked at BEL garage and got them through him. They took a long time to arrive...

                      There's a guy in ACT with a MKV GTI(Number plates "DG") that has some Sport Technics as well, same style just with dish. Not sure if he uses VWW tho.

                            very nice!

                            how much does that cost and is it hard to do yourself?

                              1 hour or so. longest part is getting the gauge holder drilled down where u want it.

                              $62 gauge (autobahn)
                              $25 +/- Gauge pod (autobahn)
                              and a few coins for zip ties and wires.

                              • I bought a digital tyre/tire pressure gauge today. I've had my GTI for almost three weeks and I wanted to know what the "stock" pressure was before I played around with it to suit my needs.

                                Turns out, the dealer didn't know either and gave me a range of choices.

                                Front Right: 35 psi
                                Front Left: 41 psi
                                Rear Right: 48 psi
                                Rear Left: 39 psi

                                I couldn't believe it. Thought for sure my gauge was faulty. Went straight to a servo with an digital air compressor and turns out the numbers were accurate.

                                I decided to set them all on 37 psi to see how it goes. I pulled out of the servo and I couldn't believe how much smoother the ride was. All this time I figured it was just the stiffness of the suspension, but now it's perfect.
