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,

  • Today I discovered...

    I'm sure there was a similar thread but a search failed to find it. Maybe back in the MK6 days?

    So today the low fuel warning light comes onto the MFD saying that I have xxkms fuel until empty. Simultaneously another message appears on the MIB screen asking if I would like to fill up with fuel and to select a petrol station. Once selected the sat nav kicks into gear and plots the route.

    How smart are these cars?

    Today I discovered that if I wind down the window to say goodbye in the morning while simultaneously clearing the dew off the windscreen via windscreen wiper, I am rewarded with about a cup full of water falling into the car and the electric window switches!

          Best tip I learned on filling up is the fuel gauge always has an arrow indicating which side to fill up on. Admittedly not that useful on your own car but fantastic when driving a rental...

            Bigbob: Hi - quick way to remember which side to fill-up on: the filler spout is always on the same side as the fuel tank shown on the instrument panel.!!

            Please don't PM to ask questions about coding, or vehicle repairs. The better place to deal with these matters is in the forum proper. That way you get the benefit of the wider expertise of other forum members! Thank you.

              Sorry this has been done to death on other car forums and it doesn't matter a rats clacker what side the gauge is on the instrument panel has no bearing at all to which side you fill the vehicle on....I have a vehicle that disproves the theory and when I put it out there it was more the case of not than often
