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,

          VW really couldn't have made the 118's engine cover any more bland! Yes, I know....cost cutting.

          Has anyone actually seen the elusive Titanium Beige in the flesh? I've called around and no one seems to have the colour....

            I personally don't like the all red tail lights... Not enough contrast

              Do you really think someone buying the 118 engine option is going to be looking under the hood?

                  The front end looks stupid where the rego plate attaches...!!!

                  The extra wide plate for the euro plates makes it look like something was left off by mistake!

                    Totally agree ... looks more like a post it note than a rego plate!


                    So they've kept the Euro plate mounts but taken away the chrome trim around the fogs.

                    That just makes fcuken perfect sense VGA!

                    Cause you wouldn't want to over bling the 155TSI with chrome trim already on the bottom of the doors.

                        VGA sure knew where to cut costs!! Not! It's such a pity the nice standards they have in Europe such as high resolution MFD, dynamic light assist, lane guidance and the standard chrome trim to all models didn't come across to Australia! You can tell they skimped on the chrome! Totally agree with you on the number plates, then again I went for the $400 NSW Euro premium plates to hide that monster plastic post it note aka number plate

                          Maybe it is the result of the too much of the huggling from the car buyers in Australia.

                            The 155TSI cloth seats look plain compared to the cloth in the 147TSI.

                            Agree with the Euro plate base. If they were trying to save costs why not leave the plate base off like previous models!

                              I weas really surprised when I took off my plates that they'd just tech screwed the plates into the bumper. And the guys who had put on the plates hadn't centred it in the car either. I'd be taking the plate base off unless I was getting Euro plates but at $150 a year (every year in SA) I wouldn't shell out. Even though I think the Euro plates on the car look great.
