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've hardly seen any around either.

    • It takes me an average of 24 minutes to get too or from work. In the past 2 days, I've seen 4 white GTI's and 4 black GTI's... I've only ever seen a single R on the roads though. Overtook a black one on the M2...

        I'm guessing it is mainly due to the lack of initial supply we recieved at the launch. Come November/December i'm sure we will see a lot more out and about..

        • There's a white one that I have seen 15+ times in Hobart - but Hobart is a pretty small place

          • That's true, each dealer would have only got 3 or 4 each with one being a demo/not for sale.

            Hopefully they don't turn out being too common like WRX's.

                Oh better mention something R related cos coreying doesn't like us talking **** in here
                Has anyone noticed that their are **** all R's on the road? Other than in a dealer, I've seen only ONE R on the road and it was a boring silver 5dr one at that!
                I've being seeing one every day on the road.. oh hang on, thats because its mine

                For those that are waiting on their "R", trust me, its well worth the wait. I cant get enough of it at the moment!

                    All the Golf's look fairly similar so doesn't really matter .

                    • ha, yeah I have only seen one (non dealer) car on the road, which was last night.. I tried to chase it down in the little polo gti.. but I lost it!

                      I spotted it from 700m away - those red led brake lights are a big give away. I wish all the mk6 gti owners would stop upgrading to the R rear lights!

                        Hey If its a good car its a good car! Ask the folks at BMW regarding there 3 series. Not a poor mans car but man they are everywhere!

                        As for the WRX's, I honestly start really seeing them everywhere once they an old model. EG I only now see some 08 STI's and MY10 WRX's on the road every couple of days as oppossed to the daily eyeful of MY98's I get..

                            • Latest episode of fifth gear did a segment on the Golf R against the Seat Cupra R, heres the clip:
                              Volkswagen Golf R vs Seat Leon Cupra R Video

                              You can grab full episodes at FinalGear.com but fifth gear is usually a waste of time IMO (this clip is no exception)

                                Did you notice a couple of times in the video that the interior shots were not of a Golf R ?

                                1:10 Steering wheel and stereo surround were silver.
