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,

  • QLD 2012 Octavia VRS owner

    Hey guys,

    I've been lurking around this site for a couple of months now, found a lot of helpful info and am ready to share mine!

    Owner of a Black 2012 VRS TSI sedan (hatch), Stage 2 tune, DSG tune and downpipe.

    overall have been pretty happy with the car although there have been a few niggling issues...
    1) Rear wiper works intermittently
    2) Oil consumption is occasionally pretty high
    3) A/C system has leaked out the gas recently due to the discharge pipe from the compressor rubbing against a clamp wearing a hole... Hoping to be able to find a similar car that i may find a replacement part - proving pretty difficult to find for a reasonable price - OEM charges ->$700+ for what is a very standard looking component...

    Hopefully I can find the solutions on here!

    Cheers,
    Dave
