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,

  • Yeah, many of the original Polo GTI enthusiasts are selling or have already sold their cars to move onto something new.

    • When I bought my GTi around two years ago there were a lot more people in this section. looks like most of the enthusiasts have moved on... Still dreaming about a K04 or BT.

      • Still have mine and planning to keep it for quite some time. Gotta get the miltek non resonated exhaust. Really want a twiggy though but will be in addition to the pogo.

          Too bad. I've just bought mine. It's the newest car I've ever owned, but that's not the main reason I love owning it!
          Intending to hang on to it for a while, probably keep it (mostly) original, and take care of it. I might have to chip it, just a little bit. And maybe upgrade the tyres and brakes, when it comes time. If I end up chipping it, I might have to look at the Seat intake. Shouldn't have to worry about the intercooler. Not in NZ.

            Try and get the part number off Tim and then order it through vw, alternatively buy it through Vag Link and install it yourself. It takes about 2 seconds to fit it. Just pull the old one out and clip the new one in.

              Definitely try and get it through Vag Link they've always been reliable and from memory that was where I purchased my Cubby from as Tim didn't stock them in those days.

              • Thanks for the advice/support chaps. (Or chapesses, if applicable.) Already ordered through vaglink, paid for, and will be awaiting delivery.

                Looks like it will be just the right size for a wallet, packet of 'baccy, and some sundries.

                • It doesnt hold much, I chuck my wallet in mine, pack of gum, it won't hold a lot, but it is better then the original launcher - my name for the standard tray - where stuff ends up flying through the car onto the back seat/floor !!

                    I'm keeping mine till I move to the USA in a couple of years... I got a quote today to get my bonnet done in black again. $250 for it done as a sticker.

                    • Cools.

                      $250 is alright for a black bonnet, in vinyl I presume.

                        I find they're very useful for smallish items like my GPs + mount + charger, torch, tyre pressure gauge, knife, multi tool, etc. I thinking of getting a pair for our Golf.

                          • Ordered a set of Vogtland TecLine coilovers from DPM UK

                            If I can't sell the Pog for a reasonable price, I may as well spend money on it and enjoy!!!!! Some nob on BoostLoosing offered me $9k - I told him to F*&% OFF
