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,

  • Newbie looking forward to returning to a VAG car

    Hi all,

    I stumbled across this forum whilst researching the new Octavia III RS which I am anxiously waiting to order.

    My first 2 cars were VWs ... a 1969 Fastback and a 78 Passat 2 door hatch back. After owning many different makes and models since (including the occasional returns to VW), I have always had a soft spot for the marque.

    Being a motoring enthusiast, I have really enjoyed reading about how fantastic the Golf GTIs are/ have been over the past few generations. The problem is that although I would have loved to bought a GTI, my occupation as a freelance Cinematographer/ TV cameraman requires me to have a fairly large wagon, van or people mover to carry lots of camera and lighting gear. So although GTI is unfortunately still impractical for my needs , the new 2014 Octavia RS wagon is the closest car that fits my needs for business and pleasure and can't wait to get my hands on one.

    In the meantime, I'm enjoying reading and learning from the very interesting and
    informative posts on this forum.

    Cheers,
    Mark
Working...
