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,

  • Hello all.

    Hi All

    It's been fun getting here.

    I'm retiring the old Camry and looking forward to retiring myself in a couple of years. My wife and I are going to take off and see the the west of this country and need a dual cab ute to tow the the camper trailer and do a little off roading whilst on your little trip.

    We finally got down to 2 choices, The Hilux SR5 or the Amarok Highline. After driving both we are so impressed with the Highline, the space, the handling on road, cabin features, safety and the performance out of that 2 litre motor. The only question I have is its reliability 50K, 100K or even 200K down the track which is yet to be proven. I would prefer if there was a series 2 available but that's because of previous experience with locally made sedans before the Camry.

    I have to wait until the new year before I can start seriously talking to the dealers in Melbourne , or even further afield, for a new Candy White Highline.

    Looking forward to getting one and I can hardly wait.


    Regards

    Welcome Max

    The Argentine Amarok forum have had Amaroks reach 100k with no major issues.
    Also VW did test the 2L for 8 million test km when developing the Amarok.

    Good Luck with future purchase.

      Thanks Ben.

      That is good news about the K's as it seems to be the major sticking point about the Amarok.
