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,

  • 2018 Polo GTI

    Howdy

    Picked up my 2018 Polo GTI last week. VW company "Executive Driven" with 10K on the clock. Must have been a pool car because there were 7 bluetooth connections set, at least they didn't eat, drink or smoke in the car. The salesman told me that and car sales people don't lie do they.
    Anyway, the car looks and drives like new and it's got all 3 option packs. I really only wanted one with the sunroof, LED headlights and heated seats but couldn't find one.
    Thank god it doesn't have LKA and I will be permanently disabling Stop/Start as soon as I find a good solution.
    It's a bit down on pickup compared to my old 2005 SAAB Aero with BSR upgrades (195Kw/380 Nm) but at 200 Kg lighter it's OK.
    Feel like I have gone full circle as my very first car was a 1962 (and a half) VW Beetle. Can't remember what 'enhancements' the 'half' had compared to the 1962 but I know it didn't have a fuel gauge, glovebox lid, radio etc etc

    cheers
