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,

  • The Spare wheel

    i know this has come up before but ,ive been offered a full size spare that could fit my Tiguan off a Passat
    its a 235/45/17 but as my car is a 235/55/17 i know the circumferance might be slightly smaller but could it cause any damage ? i could remove the tyre and fit the right one but as its only a spare and might never be used .would it be ok ?

    might throw up a "flat tyre' message on the MFD as the computer uses individual wheel speeds to determine if a tyre has gone flat. If the spare tyre has a different diameter then it will rotate at a different speed to the others.

    but considering it'll only be used as a spare for short periods of time i don't see it being a huge issue.
