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,

    Yes ... Should be unless cost cutting with the front grill wasn't enough.

    But can determine for sure if have your VIN.

    You'd want the final letter before the 6-digit serial number at the end of the VIN to be a 'W' for Wolfsburg.

    And definitely not a 'U' which is Uitenhage, South Africa, where mk5 golfs had rattles in the interior thrown in for free at the factory.

          The back looks nicer, if you like the Golf R (with the new tails) and especially at night time!
          But somehow they remind me of eyes from a robot out of the original Astroboy series!
          I have owned 3 Subarus, I have a 2012 Tiguan on order, I guess it worked.

          When I found out a couple of months ago that the reverse camera wasn't going to be available in the 2012 model I have on order, I went onto eBay and bought a OEM kit complete with wiring from Poland.

          I have had it under my desk at work for a couple of months now, still waiting for my Tiguan.

          I was also told that off road tech was also no available for 2012.
