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.

    SA At last I've got a VW, and it's a diesel!!!

    I purchased my first VW - a diesel Tiguan - a few weeks back and love it. I was a motoring writer for many years, and it's big brother - the twin-turbo V10 diesel Tourag - was the best car I ever drove in around 15 years of road testing. Shame they don't sell it - or even make it - any more, so the Tiguan will suffice for now.
    Have already noticed that if I want want to get something done on it by the dealer it costs an arm and a leg. Will need to find a "tame" mechanic in the not too distant future.
    Taking it away on our first real road trip in a week or two on a wine-buying exercise in the Clare Valley.

    Congrats on the purchase. Is that one of the new 130TDI's or a second-hand 103TDI?

    There's a couple of non-dealer mechanics around Adelaide. Depending on what you need done MRL Automotive, German Auto, AVW are workshops/mechanics I've used. There's a few others like Volksfactory in Holden Hill.
