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 New Member - getting 1st van

    Hi guys, just got a van (t5 2006 2.5 TDI 6 speed) I am about to pick up on Tuesday. My son and I are flying into Melbourne and driving it home.

    Looking forward to owning it as we are going to camp surf etc before he starts thinking his old man is "lame".

    Its from a dealer but not a gen VW dealership. I am a bit scared after reading the sensitive nature of the 2.5 engine. They say it has been serviced by VW is whole 158000klm but if anyone has used the wrong oil in that time is it dire?

    I was hoping to find a mobile mechanic who knows these vans to pass their expert eye over it before I pass on my $$.

    Thanks for any advice and looking forward to seeing you guys on the road.

    Old mate.

    Forums are great and this one
