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,

    Because it's drive-by-wire there's a slight hesitation when you accelerate. Installing a pedal box bypasses that and usually you can have it set up to how responsive you want it.

        It should be lower if you are a member of a professional assoc, e.g.AMA, ICAA, etc

          I got the same minus without sunroof ($1800) but with the radar cruise ($1200) so you should be $600 more than me and mine was $59k driveaway NSW rego. I did have a bit of fleet bonus to use (+5 cars) but you should be able to get to $61 or even $60

                      I was told by my dealer that my R is on the ship which is expected to arrive in late FEB.I don't know whether the stock is all customer ordered cars or a mixture of dealer allotted stock.

                        • They don't get LED tails on the R... Seems odd to cost cut there on the top of the line car. I wonder what else they've taken away. I can see it has Nav and ACC

                            LED Tail lights are standard, so need to list them as an option.

                              He was referring to the US model because you can see in the video they have the standard golf's tailights. Not the LED's that we get standard

                                US taillights are different because of their rules around amber indicators. Same as why their headlights have the amber panel/light in the lighting cluster
