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,

  • So the VW dealer just called and said that our new Golf R has been written off in a hail storm at the docks in Brisbane! We've already been waiting 4 months whilst it came over on the ship, so pretty gutted!

    If we want the same Indium grey with manual transmission then it's a new factory order and delivery date not until April 2018.

    So looks like we'll either be switching to an auto, or sticking with manual but changing the colour to either white or blue that are both available straight away.

        Ohhhh wow.. that sucks man. Sorry to hear!
        I echo eyes, go the blue. Awesome colour!
        I didn't even know the golf came in Indium Grey... I thought the only colours for the R were white, blue and black...?

        EDIT - Just saw the colour options from the website. When I ordered there where only 3 colours available. Anyways, still would have gone with Lapiz Blue!
