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,

  • To those that have driven both the Wagon and the Hatch, did you notice much difference with the extra weight in terms of the drive?

      Nope. Tyres make more difference to the driving experience, and the 7.5 is a bit more powerful as well - in DSG format anyway. If past experience is anything to go by, the DSG 7.5 cars probably have the full 400Nm. The manual might well be torque limited given that the clutch is marginal.

      • Anyone have a clear idea of the process and generally how long it takes from the 'Delivered From' notification (seen yesterday) on the WWL site, for the car to arrive at the dealership? Impatiently waiting..

          No idea the process and how long it takes I’m afraid but out of curiosity, what date did you place your order?
          Must be over 4 months with all production delays they experienced???

                I’m going to have a guess here: Wolfsburg hatch in the signature Lapiz blue with a sunroof. How’d I do?

                • Finally got my VIN today after making a quick visit to the dealer.

                  Like Mr. T, my car is also on the Torino and will be arriving at Port Kembla on the 19th of Jan. So after 7 months of waiting, I will finally be able to see my new pride and joy by the end of Jan or early Feb.

                  Starting to be a lot more hopeful!

                      • So i have sold the S3 and grabbed the Wolfsburg Wagon, keeping the MK6 GTI (for now) and the MK2 GTI.

                        I have to say, bit of a chuckle when i read a few comments asking 'what did you get' - you don't have many options of what you can get especially with colours. Its a small choice + with or without sunroof!

                        My disappointment only is that i wanted the Tornado Red. But apparently even wanting to pay for it or bribing wasn't an option lol! Noticed as well they're buttons that had a power tail gate option but cannot find any information anywhere regarding them in Germany, Austria, UK or the US. Wonder if can retrofit the Skoda setup to it.

                        As i ran out of time before everyone shot off for Chrissy i haven't been able to get the Springs put in (Eibachs), also have a set of 8 pot Audi R8 Calipers + 370mm 2 pieces rotors that need to be painted still, CTS downpipe, CTS intake and few other small bits to go on also.

                        For now put XPEL PPF on the entire front end, Dashcams, Gyeon coating on the rest. 10mm spacers and thats about all the excitement during the Christmas period.

                        What’s behind you doesn’t matter..

                        • Nice photo. I’d blank out my number plate too, what with all those tyre marks in the background and anti-hooning laws as strict as they are .

                          If you figure out the boot button thing let me know. It’s the only spec missing from the car that slightly irks me.
