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,

    yeah just double checked, my rego papers have the RS TDI DSG at 1540, with the brackets starting at 1504kg, I think I'll be putting the Skoda over a weight bridge. Maybe give TT a call for a news story just to put the wind up another NSW government money grab scheme.

      Obviously you haven't read the part where the manufacturer passes on the information to RTA/RMS.

      This is the type of hard hitting news story that TT and ACA live off.

        RMS called me back this morning and said that there was no error made with the paperwork and advised me that I need a Blue Slip after which I will need to re-register my car to correct the weight error.
        It will probably be worth it seeing as though I'm currently paying for the highest weight class.

          My TDI M6 is 1,600kg with me and full work gear in it... Pulls 0-100 in 8.9 seconds. A little slower than the 8.5 from the brochure!
          When I picked it up it was around 1,450kg or so.

            Relevance to thread subject?

            What weight class do they have on your rego papers? <=1404kg or 1405kg+
