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,

    Greetings everybody , thought I would say a quick hello .

    Have just joined this forum after moving back to Australia after 27 years residing in the UK . I have had various VAG cars over the years , the last 3 being 2 x Audi A6's and my last was a B5.5 1.9 tdi Passat which I put over 330,000 miles on so approximately 520,000 kms . Loved the Passat but it was a work horse really so am looking for another one now I am out here , probably a 2004/2005 2.8 30V Wagon .

    I have been a member of Audiworld and UKPassats forums for many years and I also Moderate on the FJFJRbiker forum in the UK . Another passion of mine is my 2003 Yamaha FJR1300 which is currently in a container somewhere enroute to here .

    Will have a proper nose around the forum soon and look through the classifieds .

    Impressive but how do you notch up 520,000 ks on a B5 Passat in England? Do you live in Cornwall and make daily deliveries to Inverness?

    Welcome to the forum and remember, when it comes to 2nd hand cars Gumtree and carsales.com are your friends.

    Cheers
