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,

  • Spare Wheel Bracket Broken

    I recently went over a gutter and knocked the spare wheel. The bracket came loose at the front and dropped the wheel on the ground.

    I removed the bolts and took the bracket and wheel off and put the in the back. On returning home I hopped end the car to put the bracket back, I now find the hooks that hold the front end of the bracket have sheered off - I took it to the dealer and they said it is part of the cross bar and not a bolt on bracket so can't be replaced. I have to get someone to weld new hooks onto the chassis.

    I tried to look under a van but cannot get a good look at it with the spare wheel in place.

    Does anyone have a photo of the hooks or diagram of it so i can get a new one made up and welded in place?
