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,

    VIC Greetings!

    Hello all, I'm an owner of a 2010 VW Golf equipped with the troublesome 118tsi engine (lucky me). Joined the forum in the hope of discussing with people their experience of getting the engine replaced out of warranty. My story is that my engine has blown, 2 cylinders with no compression even though the vehicle is sitting at 43,000kms.

    Ultimately, I'm hoping for a replacement (at no fee) and to reinstall my confidence in VW!

      As above man, you may want to start looking for place that has engines on shelf.
      Try Golf City International in Clayton.

      I haven't had personal dealing with them, but they seem to have engines in stock all the time.


      Looks like a nice clean workshop!

        Update: I got the car replaced via VW through a goodwill repair. Quite lucky given some of the other experiences on here.
