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,

  • VIC Returning newbie

    Hi all,

    Returning newbie here from quite a few years back when living in Sydney. Back home in Melbourne now.

    Owned a Polo GTI back then. The most unreliable, pain in the ass car I’ve ever owned. And never loved a car more, sure do miss that little thing.

    Work in the motor industry with VW but not exclusively (not a salesman), and looking to get back into a VW in the real near future.

    Look forward to contributing here once again!

      Thanks Tigger. And yes sure was, I knew a few people here who all had them also. Some never had a single issue, others just like mine. Luck of the draw I guess, but I still miss the thing, such good fun. In a Mazda now. Dependable, reliable and yet it has no soul, time for a change.

      Most likely a Golf GTI this time or stretch to the R if can convince partner of it.

        100% agree about Mazda / Toyota are in the same basket of being whitegoods on wheels.

        Hopefully you have better luck this time around

          Welcome back!

          If you want to try and retrieve the old account shoot me a PM with whatever details you remember and I'll see what I can find for you.

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