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,

  • WA Soon to welcome an R32 into the garage!

    Hi all,

    Just a quick intro from me. Was certain my next car was going to be a MY11 WRX until I drove one. Then I jumped in a new GTI and knew I wanted a quality built car. A few days later I spotted a great deal on Carsales for a 2008 R32 and later this week she will be making her way to Perth from Tassie.

    Anyway, will be lurking here a fair bit and will no doubt see the Perth lads around the traps from time to time.

    Cheers, Brad.

                  Howdy. I think I may be following your lead in the next few weeks as well.

                  Have you driven an R32? What did you think of the new GTI? I have to agree, the VW quality is definitely a step above the Jap machines.

                    Yep, the only way I'd have it. Sure the DSG may be quicker, but where is the fun?

                    Thanks man. I wonder if mine will turn up before yours? Hang in there!

                    Yes, but was several years ago. I spent 15 mins in a GTI a few weeks back and then hopped into the WRX and my choice was easy. Really liked the new GTI but wait times on new VW's are terrible (and I'm not a patient man), so pre-loved was the only way to go for me. Turn's out I still need to be patient.

                      Yours will be here WAY before mine, any idea how long it's going to take before you get hold of it?

                            ...and it has arrived!! 2 days earlier than expected, none the less. Driving it home from the depot (via work to show off) before giving her a nice bath has been a great way to end the day! Such a pleasure to drive coming from a 2.0L Mazda 3 and the exhaust sound.....fwoar.....simply amazing. Surprisingly quick too. My mate who drove me to the Depot has a 2008 M3 and said it wasn't easy keeping up. Keep an eye out for me if you are in Perth. The Tassie plates should be a give away.

                            More than makes up for the $100 I blew on the cup today. haha
