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 Scirocco R coming shortly!

    Hi Guys,

    I'm new to the VW world and have just put down a deposit on a dealer demo, a Black Manual Scirocco R!

    Its pending sale of my current car (2003 Honda Integra Type R Turbo'd) so I can't wait to sell it and get into my new sexy beast! is it bad i've already started looking into the stage 1 tunes before I own my car?

    From Perth Originally, but currently living and working in Adelaide, hope to come down to some meets once i've got my VW.

    Alex.

        Don't forget to post pics of the new Roc
        Some say he was the Stig... all we know is that he drives a VW Transporter.

          Is that the Roc I saw at Solitaire?

            I drove the Scirocco R at the VW driver education day and was very impressed with the performance and handling
            There's no need to modify it at all - the shocks, roll bar and power are all excellent, as is the stability control

            The only thing I would do is put dynamat in the boot for the benefit of rear passengers
            There is a terrible ressonance from the muffler which is not noticed from the front seats

              I believe it's the same story in the rear seats of the Golf R

                That's most likely the one, i went there last Saturday for a test drive and ended up putting a deposit on the demo.

                Thanks for the welcomes guys, decided to ship my DC5R back to Perth to sell due to licensing/mods issues.
