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,

  • NSW I've gone all euro.. Golf mk5 tdi newbie

    Ive always had japanese cars & time for something different,

    Just by coincidence a family member was selling the vw as I was just about to buy a new polo gti.
    For a tidy sum I bought the golf, with only 7000 original kilometers ! I couldn't pass it up.
    Being driven to the shops & back it's whole life, it's only driven 400kms since January according to its books & still smells new inside.

    Specs:
    07' VW Golf mk5 comfortline
    2.0 turbo diesel 103kw 320nm
    6 speed DSG
    15" alloys
    Factory sunroof
    Heated leather electric seats
    Climate control

    Everything else is standard but I believe that for a 5yr old car the build quality & features are far more surperior to newer asian & aussie makes. It's so comfortable & easy to drive & the torque is amazing.

    Future plans are exhaust upgrade, rcd510 head unit, springs, HID kit, 18x8.5's & viezu tune.

    But for now it's a daily.

    Mate you're going to love every moment in this car. I've had mine for over a year now and still have a smile when I jump in and drive it.

    Exhaust won't give you any performance increase but a tune definitely makes a huge difference. Enjoy!

      Yeah thanks for the exhaust advice i suppose bigger turbo = bigger exhaust, maybe just a cat & muffler delete? Either way it's a great daily & will def get a tune soon.

            Haha 100k is still a baby for a diesel.
