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,

  • So who's car got hammered in the Perth storm??

    Mine escaped as its in the shop. My girlfriends laser wasnt so lucky, and apart from our bed getting covered in shattered glass and hailstones, my shed full of mk1 parts getting soaked, our garden also looks like someone cut loose with an AK47

    Crazy weather!!

    Yes! Saw many smashed up cars today. Our MK6 GTI had a few dents around the front, but luckily it was in a car port, nothing major.

        Indeed, I was stuck in peak hour(s) for 2 hours as it happened. Somehow managed to avoid all the hail and came out unscathed, don’t know how when there was so much damage near where I work (Ossie Park)..

        Although I almost drowned a few times in the puddles/flooding

          You're a lucky man! I'm at the Northern end of Herdsman Lake, nothing was spared. As for my 2 month old Golf, she's kept undercover at home

                  I think they're gonna be writing most things off. Already have got 2 friends who've had their cheapies written off.

                  My Jetta's was the audio store's workshop getting sorted. At least that's what they told me.

                    If it aint a MK 1 then it must be a donor car ??

                        Its over forrestfield ( not far from Ivan's place ), the landowner has already told me they only got rain, no hail... so here's hoping.

                        Did you source a O2A starter yet, going to a few yards tomorrow morning so text me if you still need one.

                            I was parked in East Perth when the first lot of rain & hail came through, car is unscathed amazingly, must have been sheltered by the building or something....
                            Got back to work and watched the storm from the windows - had a good view too, then came home to flooded street outside my place, submerged driveway and wet carpets thoughout most of my unit, yay :/ Water level was 2-3 course up outside in the courtyard, but didn't rise up the walls inside at least just the floor. Lucky me, could have been worse!
