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'd be up for quite a wait, Paul. With no official release date, and at the rate VW are yanking equipment from the "R", you'll be left with some seats, steering wheel and AM Radio, arriving some time in 2020.

            • Curious about the seats. Is that alcantera trim on the centre of the seats with leather surround, and with white piping clearly? Is that the only seat option now available for the R? I prefer the full leather black personally (although I am sure many will like the two tone appearance)

              • Hi all

                Any chance the 2 door R's making a return to OZ ?

                Cheers

                • Yes
                  just came back from bayford vow, and the guy showed me yes.
                  As I was wanting the Turmeric Colour in an R.
                  The UK does it. But Australia won't get it

                  • I'm wondering about the seat colouring as well. I'm a fan of the black appearance in my highline - don't really want to go down the two-tone route.

                      • What are the new wheels called?

                        I think they look much better than the Cadiz.

                        • Think I'll be getting blue this time round
                          Both my GTIs where carbon steel, and I was going to go white. But I'll stick with blue, the gold looks nice as well though.

                                I've been told Feb. Others seem to be getting told Oct / Nov. I'm going to ring around some other dealers tomorrow. Don't think I can wait until Feb.
