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,

    There is no comparison between our Golf PP and the Tiguan in throttle response and the AH. The Golf feels like it has a switch attached to the throttle and the Tiguan feels like it takes a message and then thinks about moving. Funnily enough I find the Tiguan easier to get on with but they are both vehicles built to a market.
    I have an MY15 Golf & MY17 Passat 206 - can't comment on the Tiguan.
    Agreed there are differences, each with their own challenges but just take time to get used to.

      Ooh. Another 206 owner in Perth. Seeing more around now. Just spotted a light blue one in Busselton.

        Sounds intriguing (not sure I entirely get the purpose of it), is this something the MY20 Polo GTI (Australian market) has too?

        Thank-you.

          I never use auto hold or auto start or any other aids besides acc. If i am starting from a steep I may use left foot on brake so its a gentle take up on the clutch.

          I'm always respectful of the DSG and torque spikes when taking off with this car.

            By doing that it causes clutch slip which can eventually be detrimental.

              If I use auto hold, I turn off stop/start at the same time, you can do that with a 206, not sure about other cars.
              If you have obd11 or similar I recommend trying setting the auto hold to early release and do the throttle sensitivity mod, I think they work very well together.
              I'm not sure the throttle mod can be done on a deisel tho'.

                I love auto hold, it's such that I couldn't have a car without it. As has been said a light tap on the throttle to start the engine and then accelerate when the car in front moves. I usually tap when the car 2 in front's brake lights go out. I love not having to sit there with my foot on the brake.

                  I can't stand the stop start system so I don't use the auto hold either same with any of the other driving aids except for ACC.

                  Apart from that the cars been great no complaints at all.
