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,

  • tiptronic usage advise plse

    Hi all

    I never drove a manual one before, so a few questions for the lovely new Treg 150TDI i got:

    i) how often do you shift to tiptronic to get the manual control? after reading the user manual and internet posts, I feel probably only using it when driving long down hills, and overtaking?
    ii) is it true that frequent usage of tiptronic is likely to cause more trouble with transmision? someone suggested to use low gears to slow down/curving so you do not need to brake often, but others saying cheaper to replace brakes then transmision! totally lost here...

    thanks in advance for your comments
