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,

  • 12v Outlet - 2010 Octavia vRS

    I'm without my car today so can't check. Tried searching with no luck. Does anyone know if there is a 12v outlet in the rear of a 2010 Octavia vRS wagon or is it just the one in front of the centre console?

    wagon should have a 12v in the luggage area. hatch doesn't.

    wagon rear outlet can be switched on/off with the lockout switch for the rear power windows

                I know front socket stays active always too. I left a phone charger in while at the airport, and came back two days later to a flat battery. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I thought cig lighters were switched off with the aux/ignition.

                  That's pretty common among the Euro manufacturers.

                  I thought my 12v socket turned off after 30 minutes (I'm still convinced that's how it worked for the first 3-4 years). When it stopped doing this (stayed on permanently) and I asked at a few forums others had never heard of it working that way. Maybe I was wrong...

                  I have a GPS & a dashcam and got tired of unplugging at the end of a journey so i put a 2 socket 12v outlet into the cubby hole on the LHS of the steering wheel.

                  I wired it into a switched power supply on the fuse box. Works great.
