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,

  • NSW CRASHED MK4 R32 midday at Macquarie Park!

    Today at around 2:30pm I just set off to work and saw a pretty big accident just around the corner. It was at a roundabout of waterloo and khartoum rd - a green mirage with a squashed front, a flipped van and a black mk4 R32 off the road on the grass in a tree. The front looked f***ed but the driver should've been okay. Was just wondering if anyone knows about it or if that was someone on the forum. Couldn't see the plates unfortunately. 199 Rs remaining

    Oh that sucks


    Hopefully everybody was ok.
    I was in Wollongong today and there are so many crap drivers around, I nearly saw quite a few near misses. People pulling out into oncoming traffic, swerving, tailgating and in general just not paying attention.

        there are about 185-190 left on the road (im guessing). Its a shame to hear about these cars being written off. Insurance companies prefer to write them off then to fix them, parts are really expensive for them in Oz

          that roundabout is really bad. Lost count how many times I've avoided accidents there.

          Where abouts do you work Yevvy?

              I work for a promoting company so I work here and there. I live just down the road from that roundabout. Yeah it is pretty bad indeed. there are two ways to approach it - very very slow, or just take advantage of the awd and 2nd gear i guess i know which one that R took...

                  I wouldn't have thought it was even that many... looks like my chances of one day buying a MkIV R32 are getting slimmer with the passing days.

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