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 New Golf Wagon problems

    On Friday afternoon I took delivery of a new Golf Wagon. On Sunday afternoon the car would not start. On Monday it was towed to the nearest service centre where later that day I was told that the instrument cluster had to be replaced. The instrument cluster had to be back ordered and would not be available for 2 weeks because it was not available within Australia. Later I found out that the instrument cluster does not have to undergo any special coding process in the factory to link it to the VIN. Is it acceptable that VW Australia does not have parts on hand for new vehicles which are essential to the mobility of the car? Incidentally, the loan vehicle (equivalent???) for a Golf Wagon was a Toyota Yaris.
