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,

  • All going well, I pick my White Sedan with S/Roof up on Tuesday. I got a reasonable deal. I think they took a hit on trading my Tiguan but softened it by giving me less of a discount. The only dealer fitted stuff I got was tint.

      I think it does... The sales guy at the dealership said that, and demonstrated the difference in exhaust sound between Eco and Sport modes.

        Yeah, a bit of googling says it does. I know the Golf R has a louder exhaust, but it also has a fake sound generator for more aural pleasure in the cabin, as where the Passat just has a moderate exhaust without the sound generator.

          I don't pay those fees (see my previous posts on the topic.)! I had a few other extras fitted, so in reality, I guess I actually paid less than retail.

                There seems to be a flappy thing in the outside pipe on each side posted a picture a week or so ago

                  What did they sting you for, if you don't mind me asking? My rule is, always, always, always make RRP your drive-away price. The dealer can always absorb the on road costs from their margin! Their profit is generally based on volume... profit on the car is cream to them.

                  Agreed! I'm glad I'm not the only one. They pressure wash pretty well though.

                    Fair enough. I drove both over here in NZ and Superb didn't have the steering as first corner I took I ended up on the other side of the road. Used to it in the VRS Octavia so when you don't have it it is quite noticeable. VW definitely has it.

                        • Hey guys, just joined up to say hey hey.

                          I'm picking up my 206 wagon, white, with the sunroof in about 2 weeks...

                          So pumped!

                          • Hey guys im looking at a Passat 206 sedan, got a price of a $61,500 with sunroof and metalic paint. This is just the corp. pricing discount. What are people negotiating on these driveaway? Is around $57k achievable?

                            Also I cannot believe this car with all the bells and whistles does not come with DAB+ radio!!! Not happy about that! Its available overseas but not here! Even the Dynoaudio sound system!! Not happy

                            • With Vic onroads I reckon you'd be doing well at $60k - and anything under $59k would be an end of month quote special.

                              Re: wheels - if you're looking at a quality coat for the paintwork I'd get them to do the wheels as well. I had Opticoat on my OZ ST LMs and while it was a touch fiddly, all brake dust just wiped straight off.
