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,

    Maybe the diesel has a smidge more off-idle torque and makes the feeling worse? Past idle I know the petrol has more torque, but just spit-balling the idea.

          Same problem with mine, TSi. It’s really frustrating hearing it all the time, but as others have said, its just normal.

          That and the soft clunk/thud you hear when you hit a bump more so at low speed, Ive also been told thats normal too. Just lots of noises to try and ignore.

            My 162 Tig had the same noises. 3 seperate times I took a mechanic for a drive, each time. “Yeh normal”.
            For a 60k car, that ain’t normal. Next time the car was serviced I was told the gearbox was rat****. (8000klms) warrantied a brand new DQ500, not fixed, replaced. My car no longer makes the same ****ty, rattling noises at low speed change down or pulling into driveways/reversing.

              Nice one.
              Hope at 6k-8k it doesn't start again.
