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,

    the Porsche in that thread is a great car, its the owner with incredibly poor taste that should never have been built

          This thread will inspire me... to do better.

          LOL?

          Is that a intercooler with the guts pulled out, an air filter put in and then covered with perspex???

                        Stiggy, I disagree.

                        whilst I absolutely hate the prius, more of them on the road means more petrol left for me to burn!!

                          i see ur point!!
                          i read an article a few years back. saying how the prius (or any hybrid for that matter) creates 5x more pollution than a hummer in a lifetime, from production through to its death. this is because the nickle batteries have to be shipped all over the world as well as other car parts. so i dont see why hybrid are so great.
                          if i find the article again ill put it up.

                            yeah i remember that article. and it also is more dangerous to the environment when disposing of the batteries!

                              The batteries can leak and explode too!
                              They have stickers all over them. The one that sits behind the rear seat that is almost the width of the car also sends gases into the cabin
                              when things go wrong. Poor poor design in my book.
