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,

        Resistors from Jaycar. Cost you less than $2. Looks really good mate. I am impressed.

            A pair of these across where the 2 solenoids plug in. Then remove all the rubber pipe work and stuff. Reconnecting the DV to the inlet manifold and make sure the FPR is still connected.

                Install is straight forward but discs did bind up against the ball joints. Only bit of modifying work really

                  Update:

                  Car came out of the workshop after 3 days. Have now fitted a brand new set of hakon adjustable coilovers. Running 6kg f , 4kg r rates (will see how these go). While i was there the vibratechnic mounts were done, front whiteline swaybar and super pro offset/anti lift front control arm bushes. I must say it drives like a different car, handles like a gokart haha

                  Hit hakon suspension in fleet street somerton, great service, awesome product

                    I just fitted my vibra technics engine mounts too. The difference they make is massive. Not a bang for buck mod by any stretch because they cost so damn much but they transform how the car feels hey. I did all that you mentioned bit by bit so to have done it in one go .... yeah the car must feel light years ahead of where it was. Your ride heights look very similar to mine. What offsets are you running on your rims there?
