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 VW gen 6...... just bought a lemon

    Howdy everyone. Embarrassingly I just got done in buying a used lemon as a first car for my son. VW Golf 2011 Mk 6 CAVD engine 75000kms. In days gone by VW Golf was always a good buy, so didn't think to research the vehicle model / type at all. Seller advertised "car runs like new - in excellent condition". On the surface it is in excellent condition. Stupidly did not get engine checked out before buying. Booked it into VW the day i bought it just for check up and got told engine needs to be replaced. 2 cylinders have very little compression.

      Hopefully you wont hold this lemon against the brand for the rest of your days.

      Ive been fortunate and seen nothing but good times with my VW's.
