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,

    What are the defects?

    The adjuster nut for the handbrake lever can loosen. This may prevent the handbrake from being fully applied.



    What are the hazards?

    If the handbrake lever cannot be fully applied, it may lead to an increased risk of accident and injury to occupants of the vehicle and other road users.



    What should consumers do?

    Volkswagen Group Australia Pty Ltd is contacting all known owners of affected vehicles. Consumers should contact their nearest Volkswagen Dealer to arrange for inspection and repair.
    For further information, consumers can contact the toll-free Volkswagen Recall Campaign Hotline on 1800 504 076 (Monday to Friday, 8.30am - 8pm AEST)
