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,

    Thanks
    Well dont know about down there but I played with our POLO and F'd a few bits up and it cost $500 to get it set back to factory. Had it done at a specialist place as VW virtually said " You stuff it you fix it , we dont want to know"

      Found the EPB service, but for some reason didn’t work ???l
      Ah bugger, that's a shame.

        Yeah, I can imagine that happening too, but will find out.

        All I did was change the brakes (rotors & calipers) and didn't do any coding, so maybe I won't get the same reception. I did contact two VW Performance workshops in Adelaide previously, and one said they don't do diagnostics atm, as too busy, and one never got back to me. Will try again.


        @petemac110 : It is, but at the end of the day, it was pretty good and offered more than some others had, and saved me from buying the OBDeleven.

          Just as an indicator I cant do anywhere near as much to my 21 Kamiq as I could to the 19 Tiguan with my Obdeleven since they changed the camera version and seem to have hobbled coding considerably
