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,

  • new passat

    Picked up my new Passat MY13 turbo diesel wagon 3 weeks ago. Was sceptical about the quoted fuel consumption figures of 5.5 L/100k combined, but it is achieving slightly better! If the computer is accurate I'm getting 4.8 - 5.3 L per 100k (fuel gauge seems to support that), about one third country driving, the rest suburbia, and I'm driving normally. As a long term Holden V6 driver, I'm impressed by the power of the 4 cyl turbo diesel too. Hard to find anything I don't like about this beautiful car. Looking forward to being part of this forum and hearing about other owners' experiences.
