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,

  • Crash aftermath

    So after this dumbass 4WD hilux smashed into the quarter panel of my Jetta, I had it fixed. My insurance recommended "RMP" in Sunshine. I do not recommend to go to them for a Volkswagen. They welded on a new quarter panel just fine however when I got my car back, the boot wouldn't close properly (It would close every fifth time I tried to close it), there were random screws sitting in the backseat of the car, the car took an extra week than the "expected date". Along with this, every time I turned the car on there was a "Error Airbag!" and a yellow light would light up indicating that one of the airbag sensors was disconnected. The mechanic at RMP assured me that it was not a safety concern and that at the next service, Volkswagen would simply reset the computer and it would be gone. From my research, I had found that (older) Jetta models that had this issue would not deploy ANY airbags in the event of a car crash. I don't know how relevant it is for a '11 118TSI but it did worry me a slight bit.

    In summary, don't go to RMP in Sunshine. They take three-four weeks to "fix" your car and they end up damaging it more than it is fixed. Stick to spot on panels or something, they give you a replacement car.
