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,

    • Pretty much! Moon is metallic white with a light pearl finish. Side by side with candy it looks slightly 'whiter'. You can only really notice the metallic and pearl up close in the sunlight. From a distance it's hard to pick

      Edit: in sure there is a thread on briskoda that shows the difference.

      • I was thinking the other day how useful the lad screen I had put in the back of our car was and thought I guess we will mount iPads or something on our next Skoda. Except the RS seats have no way of mounting them. Wish there was an option for screens in the back of them. Or may I get a custom install done somehow? After issues with the system I had put in January I'd be reluctant to ever do something again like that. The screen is a godsend, we drove to syd and back with no issues...and no car sickness....they didn't watch stuff the whole time but it made the trip pleasant for all of us. I recall being bored out of my mind for very long trips as a kid and adult with my family.

        • Appreciate it mate. Im hoping when I pop into the dealer on Thursday to order one he has the two colors to compare in the flesh.

          Never thought id hear myself say I like the white.

            godzilla_110TDI godzilla are going to Cricks Gold Coast, hope you can do a good deal? Let us know how you get on?


            My favourite colors in the VRS are Candy White (non metallic) and Race Blue. Suits the design and shape so well. Prefer the Candy White for long term ownership.

            I have done two of my cars in Dynamat and you can tell the difference.

            • I went over to BB Skoda Mt Gravatt tonight to check out the Candy White VRS Wagon with DSG and Black Pack. I wish it had the Tech Pack.

                he mate, im going to James Frizelles gold coast skoda.

                The race blue was undoubtedly my favorite but I seem to be moving towards a white with black pack.

                  Saw a white RS wagon today in Burwood, Sydney. Second time seen one in the locality in as many weeks. Damn fine looking. But damn it, looks like ours might not be the only one on the school run come January.

                      • Wonder why they are selling so soon? 35k is a bargain. 21k is just run in!

                        • I thought the same! 25k, demo maybe?

                          Noticed there's a few MY15 on car sales ready to roll out the door. There was a tempting 135 DSG with some options but it was the strange grey.. Not sure I'm sold on it!

                            just tell the dealer that you appreciate that they have the undercoat on the car and you would like "insert preferred colour here" please !
                            Don't think it will be around for long, it's such a strange looking thing.

                            • I've seen it in person and it has some really good moments.. and then a certain sun/angle combination and it looks strange.

                              • So now my week 38, then week 42, is now week 44 build. I'll have to talk to fair trading soon. For an April 11 order. I'm calming down before phoning them back at Skoda customer service.
