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,

  • Tig gone!!!

    Yes, it's gone. My Tig has been sold - fortunately to someone that I know- and that I know will care for it as I did. Already missing it though.

    What next? hmmm lots of interesting VW models out now - I'm going to risk going back to a sedan now rather than an SUV, so a few more choices.

    But I'll keep sticking my head in here occasionaly just to see how everyone's travelling. Thanks to everyone that's been such a help and a wealth of info - Sharkie, Pullstarter, teamV and everyone else that was here from the start of the Tigs in australia. I'll let you know what I end up with!

    Sad to hear mate but things move on i know. On your recommendation I went and test drove a V6 Passat yesterday and all I have to say is holy crap! Those things really move! I may have found a Tig successor...................maybe Make sure you let us know what you get and we must have pics of course

        Sad news .... +1 for keeping us in the loop with what you're getting next ....

        Sadly, the Tigs which used to be almost a niche product are getting to be too common. Whilst it is an exceptional small family SUV most of the current drivers are not enthusiasts and don't appreciate it the way we do.

        As much as it pains me to say, its become automotive whitegoods, just like Toyotas ....

        BTW, mine is stock now and will go soon as well, to make place for something more exciting ....

                  Sad to hear mate...but exciting as well!...everything moves on.

                  I agree that there are too many 'normal' non enthusiasts driving tigs now. I do the small casual wave when I pass one, and have only had one non soccer-mum even notice it is a Tig!

                  I too am about to move on to a skoda VRS wagon....still keeping it in the family I guess?

                  My kms have just built up too quickly using it everyday.

                  I know I will miss it too though....

                  Hey, I agree with you about the V6 Passat. It is a beast!...I may even see if I can justify this for my 'work'car.
