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,

                Any other VW's Before that. How come you didn't get the R32 when you got your gti. How come you got the scirocco instead of the Golf R.

                  R32, hmm, You obviously have cheap fuel over there LOL, its £1.33 a gallon over here, the R32 is nice but the edition 30 with just a remap is 300bhp and in real world driving as fast if not faster than the R32, as for the Golf R, well that's soon to be superseded by the next gen Golf and i didnt want to spend £35,000 on a Golf that would be out of date so soon, plus i fancied a change, the Scirocco has the same engine as the golf R and is a bit different.

                    I agree can't wait for the Golf R to come to Australia. R32 you have to admit is better than the GTI. Fuel here is very expensive. I still love GTI's. Whens the MK7 due to come out. Did you have any VW's before the Edition 30.

                      I dont think the R32 is better than the Edition 30 (Not sure if you are aware but the Edition 30 has the Audi s3 engine like the Golf R and Scirocco R), its quicker and gives you about 10mpg more , the MK7 will be out next year iirc, I didnt go for the Golf R too because it looked so much like the MK5 (that said i did nearly buy the white one below)

                      The only other VW's before this was the wife had a polo GTi and years and years ago i had a few fast golf's.

                          Just Golfs of various ages, no pics as they where bought before all this internet business lol, for me i would have the Golf R over the R32, the only thing better about the R32 is the noise, when i bought my ED30 i could have picked up a brand new R32 from VW for 12k less than the list price as VW wanted rid of them due to the fact nobody wanted the gas guzzlers at the time, and fuel now costs even more.

                                love the car mate, great mods too.

                                where did you get the 'door lights'...?

                                folding mirrors with puddle lights are avaliable on the EOS in Aus, can't see why they wouldn't fit a Golf...probably not cheap tho...
