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,

    well my no 1 just failed again with zero warning. 4 and loom were replaced by VW in late 2010. Also needs new wiring loom again. Wonder how long will last this time and I have to fork out for the bill this time. Is there any way of looking after them any additive or cleaner, always run Caltex Vortex.
    Seems like you got the minimum 'durability' life of 5 years / 160,000kms WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. (applicable to all euro 4,5, and 6 engines)
    So I guess you wouldn't want others to know if you were wanting to offload it.

    For those wondering what the future hold for reciprocating engine emissions, and the durability requirements into the future (see slide 4)

      My understanding is the from around 2017 there won't be a EU standard, and the U.S. standard will be adopted as the world one.
      Emissions engineers are sweating blood apparently and lobbyists too.
