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,

  • My new NE Corrida Red Wagon

    Picked up my new TDI Elegance Wagon. Bit of a change from a manual TSI vRS.

        Yep, looks like a 4WD. Will give the suspension a chance to settle, only has 80 kms on it. At least it wont scrape like the RS on the driveway.

          Nope long wait for the Turini s in black. Closest I could find "Speedy Carbines" less than half the price to.

                      Shouldn't be trying to get good economy at this stage. During run-in you should be trying to keep on-boost as much as possible to force the rings against the cyl bore. This doesn't mean thrashing it, just keeping it either gently accelerating or cruising above 2500rpm as much as possible.

                      On the DSG I'd drive it like a manual and ignore 5th/6th gears until at least 1000km. It will cost a bit more in fuel now but you'll get it all back later.

                        Been for a couple of runs through the Royal National Park using "Sports", to avoid slogging up and down the freeway. Not being a techno wiz, its taking a while to work out the new Bolero. That hard drive is huge, should be able to load near to 40 CDs on it. The Sat Nav keeps telling me it is not set up for voice recognition in this country.

                          Bolero doesnt have satnav? I know the amundsen is essentially the bolero with satnav, but unless you optioned the columbus I didnt think you would have it (edit: as we cant get amundsen in oz). I thought the voice recognition was so you could speak and it could ignore what you said and do some other random function?

                          EDIT: I see elegance has columbus std. Lucky you!
