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,

  • Yet another newb in Perth!

    Hello, my name's Tristan

    I'm mad keen on fuel efficiency and comfort and ergonomics.

    We wanted to get a Polo TDi in early 2007, but due to the 5 month wait required we had to choose another small car pronto (the old car was dieing). Got a Honda Jazz VTi and have been impressed with it, I regularly return 5L/100km and the magic seats are... magic

    But soon it's time to get something a little larger, a little classier, a little safer, a little quieter. So now my wife and I have time to get the car we want and have a bit more cash these days too. So we're looking at a Golf VI TDi DSG, hopefully they bring out the Bluemotion as I really am not bothered with 0-100 speed and all that 'crotch-stuff'.

    One concern though, is if I can fit my bike in the back with the seats folded down? Do they fold flat?

    Thanks for the forum and I can't wait for the Golf VI to be released here and all the details to be revealed.

    Welcome to the forum,

    I have a polo and I can fit a track bike in the back with easy, only gotta fold down one side, so I imagine the golf would fit it.

    I just returned from my polo 3.75L/100kms

        welcome aboard Coaster/Tristan.

        Unfortunately consumption has never been one of my focal points. My S3 does an ok average of around 10L/100kms, whereas my GT-P averages around 19L/100kms

          Welcome Tristan.

          With the recent drop in fuel costs.....economy in the R32 is not a word discussed by my wife or I of late.

            Hope you're a patient man & can wait until the Mark VI arrives otherwise you'll have to buy a V in the mean time hehe!
