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.

I’ve heard that it’s only for the year 2019. Also there are fewer colours and some models are more affected than others. Hopefully when VW Australia see that their decision had negative impact on sales, they revert it.
I for sure will look at X3 once our 2010 made TDI Tiguan has its 10th birthday.Performance Tunes from $850Wrecking RS OCTAVIA 2 Link -
I don't think it was VW Australia choice. They would have wanted to continue with the existing line-up if they could have. It's down to the new WLTP testing protocols that have been put in place (partly as a result of dieselgate). The factory was unable to get all models through the testing regime so they had to prioritise on the higher volume sellers. This is why there's no diesel and no 118TSI.Last edited by tigger73; 30-12-2018, 02:48 PM.

They had to trim the range as Tigger73 points out because they stuffed up the WLTP testing. The Poms are going nuts on the waiting lists for their cars due to the WLTP testing.Comment

It's the same with Golfs. No more diesels.Comment

Actually across the entire range - Passat, Golf, Tiguan. Anything coming from Europe is an issue. The only models that still have a diesel engine in the passenger cars is the Passat Alltrack and the Tiguan Allspace and that gets built out of Mexico.Originally posted by syncro View Post

...and the shortage of colour pigments across Europe caused that there are fewer colour choices in Australia.
