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,

    Ryan has retro-fitted a GTI wheel and aftermarket shift paddles (amongst other things), but the instrument cluster is stock 118.

        Different speed increments on the speedo... other than that, quite possibly.

            Not so! The GTI cluster does staging and has a higher canbus query rate.

            • I meant visually, plus isn't staging just a VCDS setting (for build week 45, 2010 and newer). PolarFIS takes care of the higher canbus query rate if that's what I think it is.

              How's your R going? Any mods yet?

                • Staging is the needle sweep on ignition.
                  Can bus is the source of data/information displayed on the MFD - higher query rate means it's refreshed/updated/polled more often.

                    • All right, I can't find an answer to this...too hard to search for (well, took longer than a minute and my tiny mind has no attention span).

                      In the voice guidance of the satnav, the lady keeps saying this same word every single time for every single destination and I have no idea what it is! Has anyone else noticed this? She says, for instance, "At the roundabout, take the 1st exit toward _____". And the blank word sounds like "Dalmy" or "Dalmick". "Keep on this road for a long time, then make a left toward "Dalmer"! What is her problem?!

                          • That version of maps has "Dummy" data for spoken suburb names (previous versions didn't speak names at all).

                              OK, this is leaning toward what I was thinking. So based on any point during the route, the guidance should be saying which suburb I'm heading toward, like it says on street signs...but for some reason, it doesn't actually have that data so it just has a placeholder? Is she actually saying "dummy"?
                              Is there an upgrade I can get?

                              • We are all waiting for the v7 maps upgrade... I thought it was the recent firmware update that introduced this "dummy" quirk.
