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,

    • Packed the Polo with the new parts, ready to be installed. Informed install was not happening today... Wish I had my new setup for the long weekend...

        • Figured out I'll need to change my rotors at next service.

          How much should a set of OEM rotors cost? Weighing up the cost compared to upgrading to the 312mm ECS rotors
          Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interesting

            Double demerits! I purposely put off purchasing new bits till after Easter because there's too much temptation to push the car a bit harder as soon as new parts are installed!

                        • Hmm didnt really notice that much difference, I think the polo turns in quite well standard.
                          At the moment it is on the middle setting, need to go to the hardest maybe. I had a whiteline swaybar on my VR6, it was great, night and day difference, but then again, the VR6 is very heavy in the front and hard to get it to turn in
