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 Touareg T5 newbie

    My son owns a Mk V R32 Golf and we are looking at buying a T1 Touareg powered by an R5 TDI with about 130k's on it.

    The R5 TDI looks to be a bit of a wierd beast with with all the ancillary pumps being diret drive. I guess my greatest worry is reliability of this engine. Are they inherently unreliable? We intend on doing a lot of outback travel in it.
