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,

    I initially had a few payment problems with the overseas credit card but these guys have some pretty obscure parts very cheap.

    I'd suggest using Paypal drawing directly from an bank account rather than their online credit card service. (Although it all worked out in the end )

    I'll pop up some pics of my litle spending spree.

    USPS postage too!

    Very happy customer.

            Maybe.

            Yeah - Why do you figure I ordered 20 of ea? I figured you and Josh would be after a set each. So I ordered some extras to sell to you guys at ridiculously inflated prices

            Also I'm just a hoarder.

                  I'd get the stuff shipped straight to them. A bunch of Gaskets and lightweight stuff wouldn't be much of a burden to fit in their suitcase.

                  Need to get them in training to ship you stuff anyway

                    Nice little find there, but it's a bit difficult to find the MK4 GTI stuff.

                      Are those door handle gaskets for MK1 only? Been trying to find some for the MK3 but can only find complete units.

                            Check this out for shipping rates for brake rotors and pads (front and rear).

                            Shipping sucks the wang here when their pricing is competitive.

                            It actually makes ECS look good..........

                              Send them a mail to ask, I think something is not quite right.
