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,

    I normally have it flat on the floor between accelerator and brake (not right between them, closer to me), so that I can easily get to either pedal.
    Nothing to see here...

      I've been doing that too but after a while gets a bit sore in the knee. it would be good to have something at a similar height to the left foot rest... Tried using the trim near the wheel arch but it isn't quite the same.

      Most other cars have more space under the accel pedal but with the floor hinge there is no space.

        Mischa would have it flat to the floor but with the pedal under it

            Maybe it's different in the other models, but in the R32 there's a foot rest on the right hand side of the accelerator, similar to the foot rest on the left hand side. At first I though, bloody Germans, they stuck in a foot rest on the wrong side but now I actually use it.

            So I alternate from having my foot flat on the floor and having it on this footrest.

              I have Pacific and on the test drive I kept pushing the foot rest and I thought what a pitiful change from LHD. I live in the country and use the CC all the time so I now have two foot rests for my two feet great .

                Me too - damn convenient, really.
                In a perfect Golf, they'd both be at the same height & angle - but hey at least there's room down there! The Pugs I test drove had hardly enough room for ONE footrest. Good one VW.

                  I leave mine on the end of my leg, much easier to brake that way...

                  one a more serious note, I just rest it on the accelerator, then it's not in an unusual spot should trouble arise and braking be needed...

                    Tapping my foot in time to the music, or up on the passengers side of the dash board...I only use my cruise control if the posted speed limit is 130. Its the only time NT drivers no how to control a car!! Any other time, I never use my cruise.

                              That has probably saved me from many fines and stretching the tendons in my ankle. (my cruise control is on more than it's off)

                              I considered an XR5 in my last car purchase and passed on it largely because it didn't have factory cruise.
