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,

    • I did on my Pixel XL, but after I installed the Android Auto app and started using the genuine USB-C cable it seems to now charge at standard USB 2.0 speeds. Not quite fast charge though.

      • Hi guys,

        I recently purchased a MK7.5 GTI. Just wondering can HBA be enabled by VCDS. My car does not come with the Drive assistance package.

        Cheers

          If it doesn't have the front camera, then it cannot be enabled.

            Yeah. I don't think you have the front camera or the 7.5 LED headlights required for HBA to work.

            • So, calling dealers (in Melbourne) about the 2019 Golf R Special Edition, one told me today that the MY2020 R’s won’t come in Lapiz blue, and that they’re being replaced with a different blue. I mentioned that’d be weird because Lapiz seems, at least to me, to be the R signature colour. But he reconfirmed. Anyone else heard this?

              • I wouldn't be surprised - Rising Blue was the hero color for the Mk6, and Deep Blue Pearl was the hero for Mk5 (a proxy for current day Lapiz).

                A return to a lighter shade would be a positive in my eyes, I much preferred RB over LB; but everyone will have their own thoughts.

                • Hmmmm, I didn’t know that. I always assumed the blue in my periphery was Lapiz. TIL!

                  • These pictures clearly demonstrate the differences.. lol not.

                          • About the first thing I noticed in our "R" engine compartment was there is no radiant-heat insulation protecting wiring that runs across the top of the firewall which is above and close to the turbo. I have since noticed a U.K. you tube review of an R and it had insulation there. Have I been short-changed or is it not necessary or is our wiring super heat resistant?

                            • Got my new toy last Thursday. Meet my Golf R Special Edition. It was having a bit of fun up around Healesville on Saturday. I have to say that coming from an E46 M3, the Golf R Special Edition is one beautifully sorted car.

                                Schmik, man. What goodies does the "Special Edition" come with ? I'm not familiar with the latest models. And what are the main diff's you notice from your Merc ?
