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,

    As for websites, there's

        Thanks Walshy! The 16s look great, however, I want to keep it practical, as in I would be freaking out everytime on the road scared not to get them scratched (this applies to the 17s even more so). 15s will do for me.

          Two fine examples.
          I would love a 3 door.

            what a nice pair of cars !

            Good day mate,

            not sure if this will be read any time soon but I wanted to congratulate you on this great pair of cars ! You really kept the 3 series in great nick over the years ! What a unique specimen ! It looks like it has just come out of the factory !

            If you keep them original you'll enjoy both cars for many years to come ! Not many original Golf mk2's left in Australia ! I wouldn't modify this one, seriously ! Since almost everyone else has, yours will be worth a lot in the end plus it will remain a very special and reliable vehicle ;o)

            I wish mine would look like yours !

            Enjoy the ride !

                Since I bought the bimmer 2 years ago, it took me a lot of effort and even more $$$ to get it to the state it is in now, both visually and mechanically. It will still be getting a suspension upgrade very soon (Bilstein shocks/struts and Eibach springs) and some body work as well (fixing up some flaking paint, etc.). I suppose everything's got its price but I don't know what would have to happen to make me get rid of this car - I absolutely love it! If anything I would want another one (e30 touring, mmm...)

                As to the Golf, well the same thing here - fantastic car, only bought it not that long time ago, but already have a special connection with this one as well I'm not a big fan of mods, I like to keep them original, so that's the intention with the Golf as well. Will be getting it lowered slightly and replacing the rims with BBS RSs (which I've already got) and that's pretty much it - just looking after it and enjoying it!

                  Two very very nice and tidy cars! I like how the interiors are super clean in both, I can't stand a dirty interior ha!
                  Love the Mk2 though! I am trying to find a nice mk2 over here in NZ to keep the Jetta company

                  Love to see more photos of both of them.
                  whatcha think?
