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,

  • Hi there all. Located in the Byron Bay area, looking for an alternative for servicing

    Hi there all. Great Forum !
    I am located in the Byron Bay area, looking for an alternative for servicing. I have a 2008 4motion ex NSW Ambo.
    Our local dealership monopoly ( from Lismore to Brisbane ) are painfully expensive and seem to be hamfisted. Everytime I go in there it seems to be 1200!
    I had the High beam microswitch fail ... The whole column stalks etc has to be replaced. $700 later and that evening driving to Sydney, hit heavy fog and go for the wipers, they fail. Off the road and into the scenery at 110 KPH...... Nothing to do with their work that day on the switches, took no ownership at all.
    Frustrated and need an alternative service recommendation and don't mind heading to the Gold Coast for it.
    Any suggestions?
