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,

  • I need more tie downs

    Hi All

    I just got my 08 128kw T5 back after having B14 Coilovers installed.

    My goodness - the level of adhesion is phenomenal compared to OEM. The reduction in roll at extremes is remarkable and the reduction in float at highway speeds is exactly what I was hoping for. It is very firm but Ive exchanged bash/crash for firmness - happy with that.

    Dropped it 45mm and it looks good without being ridiculous (YMMV). My business partner has just said I can have his 255/45 20" wheels and tyres as he is upgrading so although I said I wouldn't upgrade from stock 215/65/16 it looks like grip will shortly be further improved.

    Very expensive exercise - would I do it again? - in a heartbeat.

    Best

    Sounds like you had a good win with the conversion , we also have the B14's and could not be happier . Just makes the van so much more planted on the road and corners with confidence .
