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,

    I had to claybar mine to get rid of the contaminants.
    I washed and waxed it twice but it wasn't silky smooth to the touch, particularly the roof. Now it is and I understand what the clay does instead of thinking it was it was some pointless geek cleaning fantasy.

      Im lucky it seems as there's not the slightest sign of 'restoration' of the paint.......if there's bore corrosion it won't take long for the rings to bed in
      The hand book tells me nothing about the DRL globe that makes sense but compared to the ones I replaced my Falcon's fog lights with, they are a dull almost pale yellow in comparison. But not sure if there are CAN issues to consider also.

          Why you need to use 504/507 oils in FSI/TSI/TDI engines!

            So what can be done about the dull DRLs, the specs in the hand book mean nothing to me at this stage.
            Here's some posts on upgrading the DRL's.

                The dealership gave me a loan car - 77TSI with 9K and 5 months reg on it going for the bargain? price of $24888.
                You wouldn't want to have missed the adds for $21990 DA with a full years reg. It just demonstrates to me the autonomous nature of dealerships.....buyer beware.

                  We can't pickup until mid-feb anyways, in which they will have it ready for us then. Ours wasn't in the yard had to be sourced.
                  They are selling lava blue with reverse sensors $29990 DA today in Frankston

                      They are, of course, early 2012 manufactured ......mine was in every respect immaculate but some could be showing signs of exposure to contaminants from some reports.
