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,

    I purchased mine a couple of weeks ago - got a killer deal. 55k drive away and fully optioned (i.e. paint and the sunroof). MY 17 of course. I enquired about the main difference with the MY18 from my dealer and the answer was the new fascia on the sat nav - to match whats in the new Golf and Arteon, but the functionality is almost identical. You get gesture control and some other minor things. I prefer the old system with the 2 knobs. Still a 6 speed DSG though which unlike Arteon and even some bloody lower spec Golfs which have the 7 speed.

        Was your deal on a new "zero km" vehicle or a demo?
        Cheers

          Didn't have to really haggle - it was corporate discount via my lease company.

            Brand new - I think it has 20km on it which they all do for testing.

              Yep, a genuine zero kay car. That's a good deal. You're right - they all end up with 20 to 30 km on the odometer - they are driven on and off ships, through storage yards...it all adds up.
              Cheers

              • HI
                Two days ago I put a deposit on an MY 2018 206TSI Rline Wagon. Using a fleet dealer who came back with the price of $57490 drive away no more to pay. Easiest deal I have ever had to do.

                    • Well I'm back again... And back in a VW... After I thought it'd be the 206 TSI R-Line, it's not. But I just came here to say I LOVE the front Euro mount removal and plugs. Will definitely be doing that!

                          Ooh, another 206 TSI owner in Perth.

                          A bunch of VW lovers (really all euro) have Coffee @ Elixir, Nedlands every Saturday from 8:30am. Do come along if you're into the very casual cars and coffee thing. Quite a few of us have VCDS etc. so if you need anything coded it's good for that

                          • Yeah another 206 perth owner here! Soon to be the proud owner of a 2018 Wolfy.
                            I’m expecting to take delivery late Feb.
                            coffee and cars sides like a great start to a weekend.
                            I’ll have to shoot you a PM when I can get out there.

                              Have to say I hate Wolfy’s LED headlight. It’s not LED high.

                                I think he is talking about a Golf R 7.5 Wolfsburg, not a Passat Alltrack Wolfsburg.
