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.

          I wish fuel was that cheap over here in the uk. Just filled up my company car with diesel earlier and it was £1.32.9 per litre or in Aus $2.75!!!!!!

          Infact last week a load of shell tanker drivers all went on strike about pay and the panic buying started again and some petrol stations went up to £1.99per litre, thats $4.11. Ridiculous!

                  Heading for my Independant

                  I'm going to pay $1.78.9 today at my new found Independant 2klm away from my local BP who is charging $1.89.9. (6% more - stuff the 4c voucher rip-offs) How do I know? .... Fuelwatch
                  Fuelwatch doesn't reduce prices, it tell you where the cheapest is so you can go there and buy it. So on 50 litres, I'm going to save $5.50 ... or get 3 litres "free".

                        Which place? the one in Boronia is about 4c a litre less then their "premium" diesel, which is B10.

                          Fina Fuels in Thomastown.

                          Last time I tried to fill up at either of the other two bio places in Melbourne they had no B100. Said there was a shortage.

                          They always seem to have it at Fina and it's cheaper for some reason. No flash driveway though - you fill up in the driveway beside the factory.

                              AFAIK we haven't started to get the CR TDIs in OZ yet, but it probably won't be too long. We often lag behind other countries in getting new engines eg the US has been getting the new timing chain 2.0 turbo petrol engines since March 2008, but we haven't seen them here yet.

                              I think all the new CRs will have DPFs fitted, so if you don't want a DPF on your 103Kw 2.0 TDI it may be time to buy one now before the new motors arrive.
