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,

  • A4 Avant B8

    Hi All,

    New here in the forum and need some advice...

    I just sold my VW Passat wagon b6 (1.8t EA888 Gen2) and I'm looking for an A4 Avant B8. I found one 2.0T (CVT) MY2011 with 170K on the clock. It's in a quite good shape but I'm little bit scared that I'll end up with a lemon, the price is very atractive thought. I'm aware of the problems with the EA888 Gen 2 piston rings (is this engine the same generation or it's a Gen1??). Is the CVT a huge problem or as some people mentioned here in the forum to change the oil and filter each 45k km will keep me out of trouble? Also anyone has tried a stage 1 on ths configuraton???

    Funds are quite low now so getting something with lower kms will cost much more. :˜(

    I know that's a lot of questions but always loved Audis and never had a chance to have one, everytime I'm in the market to get one (several b5s before) I ended up losing the sale and geting a good VW deal.

    Cheers!
