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,

    Thank God!!!! I thought I was the only one that slapped the DSG into 'S' mode opened up the sunroof fully and planted the left foot down when coming up to the nice tight twisty bits and yahhhhoooooooo'd like an idiot when I get the apex just right and have the ESP chirping like a canary having an epiletic fit!!!! Jeez i like driving mine something shocking and to hell with the fuel economy I say especially when you can overtake going around the outside of a corner on the putty rd with heaps of grunt left in her and grip surpassed only by a Porsche!!! (watch that last comment bring out the nay sayers!!!)

    But to one and all enjoy as you wish coz I know I do! And remember don't drive angry!

          Oh yeah, I love that turbo sound, especially when you're driving next to a concrete wall or similar where it reflects back in the window.

            I had a couple of 306 DTurbo's back in the UK and the good ones were the ones with the whistle, of the 2 that i owned the one with the loudest turbo was by far the fastest one too.
