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 loon is the man

    havent for some time been out and seen what matty is up to. and the new camden gti is up and running for sure.

    its great to see someone putting in the hard yards to keep the earlier watercooled gear alive.

    i dont want to sound like an advert but he now has heaps and heaps of gear and is worth a shot for almost anything mk1 2 3 seat and so on

    not to mention the 3 front enders he just bought

    Ahh - you should have come out yesterday when I was there. Was good fun kicking round his shop for an hour or so.

    If I could ever imagine what heaven would be like it would be something close to that workshop... So many cool things there!

    Did you pop around the back and pay your respects to the mk1 polo. Poor things seen better days....

          It really is a treasure trove of VW parts. So far there is only one part he didn't have that I have wanted, that being a window washer nozel for a Mk1... Even then there are two types and he had the other one

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

              Matt gets my official sanction for his excellent shop from home service.

              Where else could you get the right parts at the right price without having to spend your entire life driving around 100's of suppliers that don't even know that there were Golfs being made before 2005? Nor do you have to dress in greasy overalls and forge trade orders to be allowed the privilege of buying VW parts.

              Personalised delivery of a complete motor from NSW to VIC? Unthinkable from any other VW parts supplier.

              Cheers Matt and thanks for all the help.

                              My God you are a brave man. You need your nuts screwed on tight to follow the Loon anywhere in a car

                              Takes me back to the fastest commute between Campbelltown and Camden I have ever, and will ever want to make...

                              In all seriousness though, If I ever get the Mk2 off ramps I may have to force myself to make another impromptu visit to the magical land of Loon
