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,

    • Noticed that my mileage sucks now that I only drive to the station and home filled up it said 650kms, previously when I was driving to work I was getting close to 820kms from a tank... Little drives are killer!

      • Canberra run on Tuesday.

        730kms out of the tank - filled up with 4l remaining.

        Lots of police on the roads so needed to be sensible so fuel consumption challenge was the only dirving challenge left to me

          • Just got 670kms from the last tank. Filled up when the fuel light came on and it still said 60kms range. That is rush hour traffic both ways, 100km a day but M5 / M7 so constant (ish) speeds. Really happy that since the Bluefin has settled the economy is just getting better and better.

                  Would be fractionally more than a GTI w/DSG

                      like-for-like will still be slightly worse because of higher weight.

                        Have just driven a touch over 300km from Newcastle to Suttons Forrest - fuel gauge is right on half way.

                        That included driving through the guts of Sydney, air con on all the way, unable to use cruise control because of a never ending supply of useless drivers, and a few squirts here and there.

                            That's not terrific. I would have used 20L (max) for the same trip/conditions

                              ? This thread isn't for grannies who bought R's when they should have bought a prius...
                              300km on half a tank including air con and Sydney traffic is very good. I am lucky to get 200-250km on half.
