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,

            • 13.5 years til the end of the IC engine in German.......then battery and fuel cell, or more specifically 'zero emission' new cars.
              Frighteningly close for me.

              • My Mk3 will be officially a vintage car by then and I will be able to get a historic car rego for it. Just a matter of whether I will be able to get spares, fuel and lubricants to keep it roadgoing.

                  After 10 years wreckers will be your supplier, if they are not popular components that is.
                  They're all white goods now.

                  • At the moment (after 20 years), ebay and autoparts suppliers in Europe/US are my newest best buddies. Hopefully it will stay that way all the way through to 30 years and then I will probably have to get a shipping container and start my own stockpile.

                      ...or manual - perhaps people should shift their own gears again.

                          Volkswagen’s Dieselgate settlement with American owners of its cheaty diesel cars will cost the company more than $15 billion, or five billion dollars more than was originally reported, according to Bloomberg. More than $10 billion of that is slated just to go to Volkswagen owners.

                              • I understand the EGR valve remains closed at WOT, if so couldn't it be easily fooled with an ECU tweak rather than all the blanking off work?.
