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,

  • QLD Newbie who wants a Golf 7 !

    Hi All,

    Just to introduce myself, I'm from Ireland where VW is considered 'the benchmark European car', not like here in Australia where it is considered a 'luxury option'.

    I currently drive my girlfriends car which is a Toyota Rav 4 which is about 12 years old. I've had a loan of out friends Polo GTI and loved it but I'm looking for something a little more practical.

    I test drove both the Golf 7 TSI and TDI 2.0 Highlines on their launch date at Austral Newstead. The "Drive Away" price for the TDI higline was approx $38.5K and around the $39k with the metallic option.

    I quite enjoyed the torque of the Diesel model compared to the petrol but I would have loved if it also came with "flappy-pads" behind the steering wheel like the European models. Can these be optioned or retro fitted ?

    Anyhow looking forward to making a purchase in the next month or two if I can get ti for the right price.

    Welcome to the forums mate.
    You should be able to get the metallic paint thrown in free.

    I would also look elsewhere as Austral have never been helpful to me.
