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,
See more
See less

Thanks for the wake up call, Mum...

    Will your car be on REVS after this or not??

    I also hate the NRMA.

    Hope to see it roaring around soon.

    The lady at NRMA who finalised the claim told me it wouldn't go on revs, rego wouldn't be any different and the rta aren't notified. the only people that know about the economic write-off status are me and the NRMA.

    If it's any different, it's their problem to fix after she told me that ^^

    If it was a Statutory Write off, the VIN would be cancelled and it could never be re-registered.

    Mickey should push just to get a cheque, and not to have the car recorded as a repairable write off as it then carries that identifier which makes it hard to sell later and worth less.
    Cheque is coming next week sometime

    Yep. NOTE TO EVERYONE - DO NOT USE THE NRMA. It's not worth it. Unfortunately for them, every person I talk to about insurance will be advised not to use them. It's the least I can do .

      • Thread revival!

        after 6 weeks of crap (he's been going to court three times a week, and we've been waiting for the right panels), I got it back today! Painted up, all perfect and very very shiny (with the obligatory crappy detailing marks) and I'm a happy chappy

        Only thing is, it runs like CRAP! I need to have the timing and air/fuel ratio looked at on a dyno or whatevs...can anyone recommend somewhere I can go for that? I'll probably check the timing myself this weekend.

                              It has actually already had a full cut and polish, and that area looks the best...so naturally the car looks like it's got a pearly effect in the paintwork It's just my phone that isn't showing any detail from the panel. I'll get some good piccies soon mate

                              When I can afford it again I'ma haul Dan's behind over to my place to get it done properly I'm not sure anymore whether or not I'll need a stage 2 or 1 now.
