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,

  • 2010 Jetta 1.6 tDI with DSG 120,000 K service

    My wife took the car for its 120,000 k service. It was reported that the original battery performance was getting a bit "ordinary". Varta as fittede new. My wife was told by the service consultant that it may just need "charging". It had been driven over 100k to do the service and I imagine by the time it arrived at the workshop it would have been as charged as it possibly could be.
    Am I wrong to assume this?
    One thing I was not aware of is that when parked, if the doors are left unlocked, there is a larger drain on the battery than if the car is locked. At home in the farm barn, next to the the guard dog , with access through a bull paddock; the car is never locked.

    yes the battery will have charged in that time and yes it will drain abit more not locked but the consumers will eventually shut down and sleep even when not locked... battery on them usually last 3/4 years and need a good strong battery.. ..VDUB..
