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,

  • Fuel Guage Indication

    Just thought I would let you guys know what I learned today about our Tigs.... I was running low on fuel and got a 90K warning on the dash and a message on the media screen asking if I wanted to know where the closest fuel station was. Furthermore the fuel gauge changed to show the range left in the fuel tank, not the usual markings for full, half, quarter etc!!

    Interestingly, does anyone know why there is, what looks like a number 7 after the full increment on the fuel gauge? been bugging me for ages!!

    does it look like that. > l think it's a indicator of which side your fuel tanks cap is on.

      It is the number 1. Meaning a full tank. The middle shows 1/2. So the number on the far right is 1.

          Nope, looks like a number 7...there is a triangle next to the bowser symbol which indicates the fuel cap side!

            it looks more like a 7 than a 1, based on that theory shouldn't there be a zero instead of an E??

                    I have DAP, and all I can see is the petrol bowser image and the arrow pointing to the side to refill. The other side (far right I have the number 1)

                        It's a 1. Looks just like the 1 in the speedo face at 100 km/h.

                            A German 7 is written with a line through the vertical part of the number to distinguish it from the number 1.
