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,

    Hi

    my love affair with VW started with a 2002 Bora, bought new loved it.

    Bought my wife a Polo within a month (now gone, but a nice car).

    Traded the Bora in on a Mark V Golf Comfortline in 2006. Loved it as well, but in 2010 it got trashed in our hail storm in March (?), not quite a write off unfortunately, so it had to be repaired. Tried trading it in for a new Mark VI GOLF in Oct last year but could not get the price I wanted - whereas Mazda gave me the right changeover on a Mazda 3 SP25 Luxury Auto - nice car, but not a VW!

    So yesterday signed up fopr a new FSI118 DSG Golf with Sports Pack and RNS510 Sat Nav, carpet mats, chrome boot rtrim and stainless steel door sill protectors (yeah I know, but I am a sucker for a bit of bling!). Pick it up on Friday.

    Had always bought from Hughes VW but they never got back to me despite me visiting dealer and putting to them what I wanted. Had been in discussions with Wangara, but a week ago, they just never responded to a phone call. Not their fault probably, the two guys I was talking with up there were not in on the day I called and maybe just never got the message to call me back the day after. So tried Melville. To date, sales process has been faultless and quick.

    Stoked to be coming back to VW.

    Quick questions...what TINT best matches the standard privavcy glass tint in back windows of sports pack, and best place to source and install in Perth? No need to get back windows or screen done?

    And should I ask dealer to take the RNS back a firmwear version as I have heard the latest version somehow gives less precise navigation info (ie does not display the actual road name you are travelling on)?

    Only thing I could not get dealer to throw in was iphone MDI cable, he wants $90. I dont have an ebay or PayPal account and might be at his mercy there!

    Tks guys and gals - looking forward to this!
