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,

  • Touch screen playing up

    Have a 2018 V6 dark label and since getting my remap from upgraded turbo, the touch screen on my head unit won't work sometimes. I turn car on and off and sometimes works, sometimes doesn't, but it is really random. Does anyone know how to do a soft reset on these head units?

    The digitizers on the screens are a common failure. Usually starts by the top right corner of the screen failing to register touches.
    Need to replace either the digitizer (by heating and removing the laminated digitizer and all the optically clear adhesive without breaking the LCD) or replace the screen complete

      That sucks. I just tried to soft reset by holding the power button for 10 seconds so will see how that goes. What's the top of the range head unit or an upgrade for mine do you think? Would it just be to go to a later model one?

        Depends which unit you have.
        Post a pic or send your VIN via PM.
