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,

  • t5.1 highline electric sliding door not always closing

    My wife just told me today that the electric sliding door is sometimes only closing halfway then reopening. Haven't had a chance to research or examine it, and apologies if this is a repeat posting, but can anyone point me in direction to sort this one out? Is it common just dirty rails or something like this?

    Rub your hand up and down the seal on the body at the front edge of the door opening, and see how you go.

    It's got a contact strip in it, for anti-pinch protection. They always play up after a while.
