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,

  • Anybody tried or thinking about one of these? Gets good reviews from a lot of VW, Audi and Skoda drivers? If it gets rid of a bit of the low speed gear change shunt then..... It's a version one on my car looking underneath

    • After much deliberation the proverbial trigger has been pulled on a '17 built, Tungsten Silver 206 with sunroof.
      Should have it by the end of the month.
      I've owned an Amarok Highline for the last 4 years so this will be a huge change for me but I can't wait!!

        • I'm keen on a new Passat 206 R-Line to replace my ageing 125 kw Passat. Can someone tell me if the R-line Passat has auto dipping high beam feature. I live in a rural area where I often use high beam at night but am sick of manually turning them on and off with on coming traffic.

            Short answer...No!

            However it can be activated via VCDS / OBD11 etc.

            Myself personally can not get it activated!

              That's a bummer... I might ask the dealer about it when I head in for a test drive. If it can be programmed I may be able to convince them to do it.

              • What sort of wait times have people experienced recently? The Tiguan is horrendous!

                  I think there are a few dealer cars kicking around. Otherwise orders ~ 3-6 months.

                          Bought my 206 TSI Wagon in White back in May - Took 1 WEEK to deliver, soooo Happy with it, a few tweeks with OBD11 to get VIM and changed dashboard tube to the Arteon one! It is 1 sweet car..only issue I dont like is No car net / Freeview for us folks in Australia..Just love putting my foot down when an unsuspecting WRX or Audi TT tries to play hehe

                          • I am currently torn between a 2018 3.6R Subaru Outback or the 206 TSI Wagon, lots of pluses and minuses on both sides - I was wandering if there were any reliability issues with the Passat that members have come across?

                              Had to laugh as I had that issue back in May I was torn between the Outback R / Levorg / Legacy B -Spec and the Passat but in the end the Passat was the way I went ..

                              p.s Never liked a Passat until the 206 TSI R-Line came along
