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,

    Have a 2008 Golf Mark V TDI owned since 2013.
    It has been a great car except for the electronic door and boot (hatchback) locking modules. Have had to replace all door modules except driver's. The boot problem was due to broken wires in the loom caused by the flexing during opening and closing. The replacement loom had more robust wiring (presumably because VW recognised a design fault). Went through fruitless exercise of trying to get some compensation from VW Australia's - wait for it - " Customer Experience Ambassador"!!
    Seems the above problems are common in the Mark V's noting the number of posts on Google etc.
