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,

    Dean's cars have featured in the Camberwell dealership showroom as well in the past. I'm sure it works out for both parties.

              • how did that Golf R rev like that when it was idle? My car can only rev to about 3-3.5K before the rev limiter thing cuts it off from revving it higher?

                and on that note, is there a way to disable that rev cut?

                • and what oils do you guys use to change the oils in our Golf R's?

                  Comment


                  • Maybe they were revving in neutral rather than launch control?

                    I use Liqui-Moly Top Tech 4200

                      • Mi16 Man made a thread and also used the Liqui-Moly. He purchased it from Autobarn in Canberra for $61!!! I purchased mine in Sydney from European Autotech for about $80 - which is the price that Motoractive.com have it. So check out Autobarn first!

                        • Talking of oil how many of you have noticed some oil usage so far? I check mine regularly and hadn't noticed any change until recently, it's only dropped a bit but it is certainly lower. Car has still done less than 4000 kms.

                          • Haven't noticed any... but then I had it changed at ~3000 when I had the Stage 2+ gear installed, and I'm only up to ~6000 now.

                              My oil prior to getting it serviced last week (8,600kms) was at the lower end of the mark between min/max, which is a less than a litre, from experience witht the Jetta TFSI this is normal.

                              • I thought the dip stick represents only 1 litre?
