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,

    Not a Skoda, but i might be tempted to take the Golf for a run. Im not at all interested in 1/4 mile drag racing, but would like to know how it would go down the strip at the same time. Prob low 13's in a manual.

        The DSG firmware upgrade won't make any difference during a full throttle 1/4 mile drag

          Hey - it's a VW event so you will be right at home for sure

          I'm the same as you, 1/4 mile drag racing holds very little interest for me
          Although I was fascinated with the modified but street legal Golf R doing 10 second passes - Respect!

          This is something I would just do once out of curiosity

          Would be funny if MCM came with their S2000 and turbo MX5 - LOL

            its not a firmware upgrade i'm talking about - i'm talking about a Performance DSG Software Upgrade.

            when it comes to drag racing, i know faster shift responses make a difference, which is exactly one of the things the dsg software upgrade does. the dsg in its stock form is quick as it is, but faster than quick can't b bad.

                Yeah - in the IT industry we call that firmware - same difference

                It won't make any meaningful difference to our 1/4 mile times,
                our cars are so slow that two or three faster than quick gear changes will make a negligible difference

                I am interested in the DSG upgrade but for other reasons

                  I don't think any of us are serious about it - it would just be a giggle
                  But I do like giving Matti a hard time about his beloved dirty diesel

                    Even dirtier now thanks to DPF delete and stage 2 remap - how much does the drag thing cost and are helmets required? I don't have one!
