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,

    This is correct,

    "9. the failure of any part which is caused by:a. any part which was not made or supplied by the manufacturer of your vehicle; or
    b. any modification to your vehicle which altered its specification from the
    manufacturer’s original specification, including but not limited to any change over to
    LPG (liquid petroleum gas), turbo-charging or a change in piston size. "
    (VW Australia New Car warranty, sitting in the "When we will not pay for you claim")

    don't get me wrong VW will understandably push hard to show that ANY fault related to the engine management system or engine itself is as a result of a tune or engine modification, but for issues with unrelated components i.e. suspension and well the DSG in this case etc. there shouldn't be any issue.
    Well that's my understanding of it at least.
