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,

What did you do to your Polo today?

    I rekon you keep an eye out on here, ozaudi, ebay, etc and do something original. I'm on my 3rd set of rims, none of them were really expensive, but all were cool to me. There are a lot of options and the good ones often don't come cheap.

    • Yeah 7.5 front 9 rear

      I am not a fan of all black wheels, but I knew with a 3inch polished lip it would break it up, when the bonnet is open the polished parts match the polished lips. I was thinking about getting a polished half cage, just to top it all off.

      Maybe try to find even more polished parts lol

        That coming from someone who paints wheels white lol
        yeh cos i've already done black plus it sure beats painting them a safe colour

        still, looks good.

          I think the gloss black that vwthunder went with would look much better than gold with a white car (but then I think the gold would have looked terrific with his black car )

                I would agree mate, get the gold bolts on it.
                Looking great though, congrats, can't wait to see it in person!

                  Hmm black on blace is not safe colour, i think it was more of a risk doing them black. If I didnt have the extra big polished lip on the back I probably wouldnt have done black.

                  Anyway enough about my wheels lol

                  • Ordered a 42DD o2 spacer to get rid of that goddamn CEL that's come on after the new DP.

                    • I have never heard of anyone having that problem with a APR downpipe

                      Did you order it from Tim?

                      • Even APR advise on their website that it'll throw a code. It's due to the increased airflow, no biggie, but that little light is giving me the s**ts.
                        Ordered the spacer from Greg, apparently they're like hen's teeth at the moment (should get it come Friday)

                        • Oh ok, guess it might be because you dont have a tune yet ?

                          • Yep, it is another way of getting rid of the code, John (DNA) said he could take the DP (and the CEL) into consideration, however it's a HELL of a lot more expensive than a $50 spacer. The tax return should come soon so I might consider the tune then.

                              • It's made much more of a difference than I thought. It pulls harder in the 3,500-5,000 range and sounds a whole lot better
