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,

  • Roof rack options for Mk7/7.5 hatch

    Just wondering what people have installed and their experiences.
    If I end up getting a GTI I would like to have roof racks on permanently as I just cannot be bothered taking them on and off, storing them in the meantime etc.
    I'll be using it for a pod box that will be placed on the car as required.
    Has anyone had their roof racks on long-term? Any scratching of the pain or other concerns?

    What are peoples thoughts regarding OEM vs other brands.
    Current:
    2017 Mk2 Tiguan 162TSI, R-line, White
    2020 Mk7.5 Golf R Wagon, White
