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,

      • Yeah think you're right but better it works some times than not at all even if it's a false alarm.

        • It has slammed the brakes on twice with me has a really bad sound like grinding metal on metal when it does it
          I think it is a good thing but for my driving can be a bit to much of a nanny

            Here is my car having a spaz changing lanes and the red warning coming up.

            In all fairness the car may have been giving me the two fingers for playing Bruno Mars on the radio.

            I've had this when the car thinks I'm "undertaking" a car in a turning lane and get on the brakes. 9 times out of 10 it sees the car as stationary and all good.
            Undertaking as far as I know is not illegal in Australia (NSW anyway) so should really be disabled IMHO. I tend to disable ACC or have my foot ready to accelerate.

            • So, my petrol cap cover fell off yesterday. Fell right off when I opened it, like it wasn’t clipped in properly.

              It clipped straight back in after a wipe down, but the edges are scraped/grazed. Very bizarre!

                      • I clipped a gutter with the back left yesterday in the car park, took the left turn too soon and got a bit of gutter rash. 3rd time I've done something stupid. Having a shocker. They are only minor but ****s me to tears.

                        How bad is your swipe?

                          Rear bumper and rear quarter panel. Pretty minor, but it’s bent/dented them slightky. Was a hit and run. Buuuuut, I rang the shop it was parked in front of, and they’ve got the CCTV footage, with the guy’s rego.

                          • Light Buzzing Sound From 7.5R Dash (throttle body?)

                            Getting a light buzzing sound (appears to be coming from driver's side dash/engine area) around 2,500rpm (constant buzzing whilst at 2,500rpm) on my 7.5R (stock). Buzzing sounds isn't soundaktor as happens on any driving mode (comfort, eco, normal and race), outside this rev range sound goes away. More noticeable when driving on quiet roads and car is in a low soundaktor setting (comfort, normal etc).


                            Car was in with local dealer today to investigate. Happens that an Australian VW rep was there at the time and they concluded this was a normal throttle body/flap sound and were willing to demonstrate a similar sound being present on another r line they have.


                            Any forum knowledge on this issue?
