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,

  • Chasing a good deal on a White Golf R with DAP and Leather if anyone knows where I can score a good deal

      Hey Mikey1, understand the insurance co will own it and it will go to auction. All the interior was good, nav, leather seats etc (apart from airbag deployment ) and 3 of the wheels so it would worth something.

      Looking forward to the R second time around particularly a nice clean white. (Particularly given I'm currently driving a crappy Nissan dualis with a buzzbox cvt!)

      • CVT's are absolute rubbish. Just awful things to drive. Sounds and feels like a horrible slipping clutch. Can't believe Audi persisted with them. So not premium! Haven't driven a new WRX but I cannot believe Subaru have put one in a sportscar.

          Funniest part about that is 50% of new WRX sales are CVTs! WHY???!!!!

            I wouldn't buy one, but then again I wouldn't buy a WRX either - but it's supposedly a reasonable unit (all things considered) and proves that they've been dropping sales by not having an 'auto' option. IIRC Motor did a quick review an issue or two back and had it as their pick over the manual.

              Got a good deal on mine through Robina VW. Give Michael Goldsworthy a call - reckon he will help you out - good bloke to deal with and no BS at all.

              • Dad had a WRX then an STi. Both on my recommendation. Both brilliant cars. Unfortunately Europe caught up with Mitsubishi and Subaru. Not sure if we'll see another Evo and the "new" Rex is generations behind anything from Europe now AND for a similar price. Who would buy an STi over the near perfect Golf R now!?

                • I think it was posted before is a review of the STI and the Golf R

                    Andrew, I believe this is your car? (Anyone who's sensitive to graphic images of damaged Rs: viewer discretion is advised!)

                          • ^ lol yes Don, clearly cleaning the car prior to auction not a priority!

                            • Haha nope. (That said the cars of those who turn up at the auction aren't that much better). My car actually came from Pickles
                              Some say he was the Stig... all we know is that he drives a VW Transporter.
