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,

  • 2004 MK5 Comfortline DSG

    2004... that's got to be one of the very early Mk5's then - which engine was it? I'm guessing 2.0TDI by the DSG - I didn't realise they were even here in 2004 (I had a 2006)...

    Have you had a diesel before? Maybe look at a few other Mk5's with the same engine & box & see if they're the same - I've always thought the Mk5's had a particularly low idle - I thought my R32 was going to stall on me today!
    2006 MkV 2.0TDI -> 2005 MkV GTI -> 2008 MkV R32 -> 2013 Polo 77TSI + 2016 Mk7 Golf R Wagon

      Check which engine it is - the 1.9 (77kw, 250nm) and the 2.0 (103kw, 320nm) were both offered with dsg, the 2.0 has much imroved performance.
      MKV Golf 2.0 TDI DSG Sportline. Just nice.
