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.

    Of course it happens just before a show and interstate trip...

    I was hearing a "ticking" sound coming from the drivers side of the car which I thought I should have checked out so I headed down to Camden GTI... seems there was THREE nails in the tyre.

    No problems, the tyre guy in the complex had that sorted out right quick...


    Then as the guy reverses the VR6 out it sounds a little funny...

    Seems the coil pack has just shat itself too

    A few more dollars down and a new one should be in by this afternoon.

    Convenient timing? Better today than half way to Melbourne on Saturday I suppose.

    If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

              After all that, the new coil pack is in and it's running wonderfully... but the ticking was still there... on closer inspection it seems there was a large rock caught in one of the tyres

              Still, it's good to have everything working right before the trip

              If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.
