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.

    Camping and off-road with the 206TSI?

    Hi all! Looking to take my 206TSI on a camping trip. There'll be a few dirt roads, which I'm confident it should manage fine, but apparently also a small river to cross through, to get to our final destination. Anyone done anything this in the car? Anyone know the max wading depth?

    Thanks!

    Are we talking a few hundred metres or a few kilometres of dirt roads ? It will manage but it wouldn't be pretty. I wouldn't do it personally.

    Can't answer max wading depth of car, but I wouldn't drive (or be driven in) anything short of a 4x4 through any streams/rivers to be honest ...

      The wading depth of the T5 Transporter is 300mm, so I don't thing that the Passat could go deeper. I personally wouldn't attempt any water crossing.

        The older Audi A6 also had a wade depth of 300mm on the maximum suspension setting.

          I once took an mx5 across a creek with the roof down and a ford mondeo through water up to its hubs but it's was a causeway not a creek crossing a lot depends on the speed of the water and what the bottom is like

              Sounds like you should have gone for a Passat Alltrack!

                We have a B7 AllTrack. Might just take that!

                  Water doesn't look too deep but certainly looks rough as hell for a car. I'd pass.
