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,

    Just traded my Passat for an Octavia Scout. Just the vehicle I wanted. Couldn't be happier, got a great deal too!

      Congratulation, good choice. Scout would be my option if they had DSG at the time when we were buying Tiguan.

        I would have preferred DSG but who can knock back a $10,000 discount on a MY10! Love the diesel engine even though its a PD. May need a little more soundproofing. Has a few things the Passat didn't have eg iPod connectivity (Aux-in), touchscreen etc

          Excellent choice my friend; sounds to be an excellent deal too. See you 'round!

            Hi, PassatB6.

            I sent you a PM regarding your recent purchase a few days ago. Not sure if you read it yet but I'm just looking for some info because I'm thinking about maybe getting a Scout. Anyway, if you want to answer my PM, cool. If not, that's cool too. Thanks!

              Reply sent! BTW if you are doing a lot of stop start driving you might want to wait for the DSG. I don't so I'm OK with manual.

                  Me again. Sorry but I don't see any new private messages for me. Or am I missing something? Thanks!

                      If you wanna do a lot of start, start driving, get the manual. There will be no 5 year old DSG cars that still drive.

                        Could you please explain this a bit more. Sounds like DSG doesn't like stop start driving?

                          You have to remember there are still Manual clutches in it.. its not a slushbox at all.

                          The clutch pack is going to wear quickly in lots of city driving.
