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,

    Lots of cars have no spare wheel these days, not even a "wheelbarrow wheel" (spacesaver). Pretty useless idea as soon as you have an unrepairable flat outside the metro areas.

    • They don't have to have a spare so long as there is some kind of repair kit (read can of goo) but my understanding is that the sub sits inside the spare.

        • Ok cool. Sounds good.
          Don't know why I assumed every car needs a spare, anyway no probs.
          It's actually a good design I reckon for the dynaudio.

              Agree on the footrest. I've seen it in vids of the overseas alltrack models but deleted here.

                  • Hey guys, have been quite busy last few days and hence couldn't post an update. I took delivery of MK7.5 GTI last week. Probably the first in Sydney [emoji57]. Loving the car. Now waiting to get tint and paint protection done over the next couple of weeks.

                              • Thanks all! GabrielT, I think yes lights are the same as normal golfs. But dual day time running lights! I didn't opt for Lux pack. Only DAP.
