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,

        Imagine those bright red Mazda 3's or your Mk 4, now bright red with a pearl brown dust.
        Or all the speed camera and traffic camera errors since all the cars will be red

        It's all Dubbo's fault anyway.

          Woke up from the smell of the dust... googled it up and got this:

          The bureau said a tornado was recorded by a severe storm monitor in the mid-north of South Australia, with the strong winds experienced over that state now extending across western NSW and into the ACT, bringing with it thick dust.
          That's a damn far way for the red dust to travel!
          Past: Mk3 Golf 2L 8V, Audi 8L A3T.
          Present: Mk3 Golf variant.

                I remember that.

                I was watching "Planet Earth" and there is dust that goes half way around the world in some places, mostly from The Middle East and Africa.
