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,

  • New Volkswagen T-Roc

    Volkswagen : Her kommer T-Roc - BilNorge.no

    This is from a norwegian newspaper, but there's lots of pictures to look at, rough translation:

    Volkswagen T-Roc is built on the MQB-platform. The car is 4.2m long, 1.82m wide and 1.57m tall. It is approximately the same size as the Mazda CX-3 and Renault Captur.

    Wheelbase length is 2.6m, 445 litre cargo space, growing to 1290 litre with the rear seats folded.

    Initially there will be three models, the base model with a 1.0 litre TSI engine at 115HP with a 6sp manual gearbox in
    a 2WD configuration. The next models are a 4WD model with 2.0 TSI engine at 190HP and a 2.0 TDI engine. Both with a 7sp DSG gearbox. Later there will be a 1.5 litre TSI engine paired with a 7sp DSG and 2WD, and a 2.0 TDI engine with 190HP and 4WD. There will be further models at a later stage with the 1.5 TSI engine in a 4WD configuration.

    It will be available in Norway at the end of the year. I guess that means the end of next year here in Australia.

    Looks a little odd to me. I wonder how it'll look with R-Line package as well as the pricing goes. Tiguan looks like a better value at this stage.

      It's got about 150mm longer wheelbase than the polo? So it's a small suv.

        Yep - it's designed to go up against the CX-3, Toyota C-HR etc. There will also be a Skoda version that will likely get the Yeti name.

          The Skoda Yeti replacement will be called the Karoq. Bigger than the Troc, almost Tiguan-size

          2018 Skoda Karoq revealed, Australian debut set for second quarter 2018

            Fully aware of Karoq but Skoda themselves have said it is not the direct Yeti replacement - that will come later.

            https://www.motoring.com.au/leaked-s...ine-up-106495/

            Model K became Karoq, sitting below the Kodiaq while Model Q is the direct replacement.

              Have to agree, I reckon it's ugly, sorry.
