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,

    Yes, I have a very good idea what their response will be too. As I said, I love the car but hate being misled.

      A question for those who have done this upgrade - how does the rear legroom compare between the models?

      Our 07 Jetta 147TFSI is a bit squeezy for us as a family hack. With me at 2m tall in the front there isn't much room behind me for my growing 6yo. We need something with more legroom in the back when the front seats are set back. Tried a Passat today but weirdly it had LESS legroom than our current Jetta due to the need to have the seat so far back to get around the Passat's dash. The dealer we went to didn't have a Jetta for us to test out ...

        I just compared the MK5 to MK6 that I've got and it is pretty much the same. How about a Tiguan?

          Thanks for that.

          The Tiguan has marginally more but not much to write home about.

            You lose all that boot space too.

              Yep. Not the end of the world (we have a Pajero too) but not good.

                I've been meaning to post a photo of the new ride. Finally got around to it. Here it is!
