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,

    Would have done the same but now of course live in fear of tdi gap envy.. i need more power!!!!
    The Scout is way quicker than the liberty.. i cant figure how it gets a 10.9 for the 100 k time it feels much quicker than that although I suspect it has something to do with the slightly awkward 1st to second thing
    TDI gap envy?

    1st->2nd is actually pretty quick, considering.
    I came to the vRS from a Kia Sorento and Kia Rio. The Rio was a manual, 5spd 1.4ltr... 1st to 2nd at 6k rpm took a good 2sec. Anything quicker and you'd hear the crunch.
    With the TDI, if you can shift before you lose boost (around .7-.8sec, if I recall), its bloody quick.

    Cause bloody hell, boost takes ages to build up.
