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 Just an old petrol head

    Hi everyone, my name is David and I will be purchasing the new Tiguan 162 TSI Highline with Driver Assist and R line option when it is released here (Sydney, Australia) in 2017.

    I am joining this forum to draw upon the wealth of experience and knowledge of VW automotive equipment.

    My current drive is a Nissan X Trail that I will pass over to my son.

    My background in motor cars stretches all the way back to 1968 when I hotted up a 1952 Morris series MM side valve.

    Later in 1975 I added a turbocharger kit to my new Toyota Celica and got involved in club motor competition. (The bug had well and truly bitten.) The Celica cost $3,753 on road in 1974 and I spent over $5,000 on the motor alone and well over $50,000 over the 10 years of Celica Car Club of Victoria and inter-club competition.

    If you are interested I can go into more detail. I held the club track records for both Winton and Caulder Park raceways.

    I was a pioneer user of turbochargers and have owned a few rapid vehicles over the years.

    I started with my 1974 road registered Celica very heavily modified. The next was a 1985 Group 3 Peter Brock Calais. The next was a Mitsubishi Galant VR4.

    As you might guess from the above, I appreciate good quality engineering.

    I am really looking forward to the Tiguan 162TSI as it will provide me with a nice bit of get up and go along with a very practical road car.

    Thank you for having me on board.

    David
