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,

  • Air Conditioning Upgrade

    Hi guys,

    My Caddy AC has never been cold enough and talking to others it's not just mine. I was wondering if you can get it upgraded?

    Thanks.

    It's the same setup as a Golf, so unless you have a partition behind the front seats, it's not going to be as good as a Golf.

    Also look into changing your cabin filter, if you haven't already. This can also have an effect on performance.

    Another thing to look at is, measuring the temperature out of the dash vents. On medium fan speed, full cold, and on recirc, it should get down to around 4deg C.

      Hi. I also have a Caddy with the air con not as cold as I woud like and the airflow control dial doesn't work either. Is the dial a simple fix or should I take it to a mechanic? Thanks

        You can look into a HyChill gas swap out.
        I have mates who swapped the gas in other types of car and say its day and night difference.
