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,

    You can expect improved economy after the first 1500km
    around town you can get the range of 450km and double that if you took it for a long drive down the motorway.

        • My R over 31,000km (a bit over 2 years and 85% start-stop commuting) has averaged 440km per tank. During that time, it’s been as high as 550km (more freeway driving on that tank) and 360km (track day and having fun). But around 450 sounds pretty right to me.

                      Picked up today. First drive was worth the wait. Will explore more in the coming days. Love the colour.

                      • Has anyone been able to confirm that their Wolfsburg will come with with the updated DAP? (Traffic Jam Assist, Emergency Assist and Lane Assist with adaptive lane guidance)
                        VW Australia and a couple of dealers have told me it's impossible as all Wolfsburgs at MY18. One dealer said they have one coming in in 4-5 weeks, which shouldn't be possible so early as these are expected around April-May.

                          Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't your car arrive at the dock on December 7th last year? So it took 6.5 weeks for you to pick it up. What's that all about?

                            I though the cars already come with LA and ALG? My R def has them. As far as I am aware it is only TJA that is new, not sure about EA??

                                Oh I see! 4.5 weeks still seems like a while, maybe it was a customs thing.

                                A nice welcoming present for you when you returned from overseas!
