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,

    That is complete and utter crap from the dealer and for $400 it is NOT a genuine Skoda screen for the sensor windows. It's more than likely a cheap Chinese knock off that took so long because the dealer probably purchased it through ebay.
    When I cracked my vRS (with sensing wipers) screen about two months ago Windscreens O'Brien had non genuine screens in stock in Melbourne and Skoda had genuine screens in stock in Sydney for $20 more. I got the genuine screen from Sydney overnight.
    You have been dudded mate.

      I paid $380 for a new (genuine) windscreen plus fitting, so $400 sounds about right... Don't you think everything is a rip-off anyway?
      You can check if it's genuine by looking on the bottom of the screen on the drivers side for the skoda logo and part / serial numbers etc. and if you're really OCD you can phone a Skoda parts department and have them check the serial number... But you probably have a life...
