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,

  • SA Newbie intro

    Hello,

    I own a 2008 Passat 125kw Diesel Wagon. I love my car and hate it at the same time (more love than hate).

    We had only driven 35,000km since buying new when our car died due to the infamous diesel injector fault in this model. Fortunately the warrantee on the injectors was 7 years so expense to us was minimal.

    I mentioned I love and hate my Passat so to clarify:

    Hate:
    That I am now sceptical about it's reliability following the diesel injector fiasco. Feel unsure when driving it long distances despite the injectors being the only issue we have had.
    Want a tow bar but can't believe VW want $1,600 (we should have checked this before we bought it). My 2010 Commodore work vehicle (that I no longer have) cost $450 for a tow bar.

    Love:
    Power, economy, comfort and just about everything else about the car.

    Joined the forum so I can keep up to date with any issues or subjects of interest regarding my Passat.
