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 Lamda probes

    Around a couple of months ago
    While considering Golf purchase (And I AM going to buy one)
    Reader wrote to Daily Telegraph (Sydney) re failure of Lambda probes. (In car section, Friday edition)
    Claimed had them replaced three times.
    And that VW replied due to "Dirty fuel"
    Was given prominence in Tely' car section, with a big picture of Golf
    This was for previous model, reader was considering new mark 1V

    However, is it possible, due to dirty fuel, and Lamda probe failures, this is causing
    the present massive failure of latest TST Golf?

    That is, can a lambda probe malfunction, (due to dirty fuel) cause the engine blow up problem?

    I guess I should change my order to diesel after all, but love the 7speed DSG and smoothnes of the 118TSI
    There are very few outlets with R108 fuel in my area.
    Hey
    Have a good week
