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 think so. I got out of a parking ticket because it was a "Road" not a "Street"

              Write in saying that the information is incorrect and that you don't own a "Golf GTI" ... simple.

                That's exactly what I did. I figured I would have to pay it, but since I didn't have any cash at the time and the deadline to pay was getting close, I didn't want to attract an additional late fee so I wrote in saying that it was a road whereas the ticket issued had street -- thus buying me more time to pay. It was a pleasant surprise when they sent me a reply stating that they withdrawl the infringement and instead issued a warning.

                • Lucky you that he couldn't tell a Polo from a Golf.

                  I got caught in the Royal NP on Saturday - 12km/h over - I consider myself lucky that's all he got me for

                  He seemed to think he was uber cool says something like "nice little car these, 1.8L turbo, 110kW must really fly when you want". I was like, "umm, yeah".

                  I thought the Polo GTI was a bit of a sleeper, not something some bogan copper would know anything about ... caught me by surprise.

                      ... and got a lot of Google references from this site saying that they were "faster than a speeding bullet and able to jump an STI in a single bound".

                      • can you get a refund on a speeding ticket or get points back if its already paid? because i paid it soon after the offence. i think i may be stuck with it.

                          Can't say I've ever heard of anyone getting their money back after paying a fine. I think the way they see it is, if you pay it, you've given up your right to appeal. But who knows, you can always try.
