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,

  • My VR6 :)

    Howdy y'all,
    Been on the forums for a little while now, had the VR6 for about 3 weeks and still sorting out some issues, already had the following fixed;

    New front brake rotors and pads
    New oil cooler seal
    New electric water pump
    New front control arm bushes
    Passenger side front window reg
    oil and filter change

    Also installed a K&N pod, love that growl

    Car had the following bits when i bought it;

    Eibach Springs
    Billstein adjustable shocks
    17" diablos (i think)

    Hoping to do the following very soon;

    New stereo system
    Exhaust
    New front seats (or retrim)
    New rims*

    *Why new rims you say? Well the toss bag owner that put them on the car used spacers on the front so the inner part of the spokes would clear the brake calliper unbeknownst to me at the time of purchase. So, rather than have a wheel snap off under cornering I will be getting some new rims shortly that dont have to sit on illegal, dodgy and dangerous spacers

    Unlimited space to host images, easy to use image uploader, albums, photo hosting, sharing, dynamic image resizing on web and mobile.

      Car looks really clean!
      Although they're really generic I really like the Diablos - They suit the subtle VW/Audi look well IMO.

      And not all spacers are totally dangerous, although they're all illegal... If you get some high quality metal ones you should be pretty confident they aren't going to fly off.

          Thanks guys, spent a lot of time detailing and armor-alling etc, the plastics were pretty dingy when i got her. As for the spacers my mechanic reckons they're dodgy as the wheel isn't resting on the hub so the studs are taking the full weight Going to go have a look at these at ozzy tyres tomorrow



          Rayray the ride is SWEET!! Handles like it's on rails
