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.

Ah just means the car uses a radiator with coolant and all that - Older dubs just relied on straight air.
Welcome to the forum btw. Show us a pic of your wheels.

Hi Emmy,Originally posted by Emmy957 View Post
Welcome to the forum.
Watercooled means that the engine has water jackets through which water circulates to keep the engine cool. This water is circulated through the engine then to the radiator and the airflow over the radiator in turn cools down the water before it returns to the engine and the cycle recommences.
The specific meaning in relation to VWs is that it differentiates between the original VWs (Original Beetles, Kombis, etc.) which were aircooled i.e. no radiator and no water and the later generation of VWs which are watercooled.
Clear as mud? Ask away of you have any questions.
