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,

    Hey Guys

    Just picked up a 2008 caddy panel van. Great little car. Just a quick query, when the fuel tank is full of diesel, is it normal to hear the petrol swooshing around at low start-stop speeds?

    Regards

    i think it is. the cargo area is not sound proof and the tank is right under the floor panel. so you'll hear the fuel swooshing around when the car is in motion or just stopped.

      As psyone mentioned... not much sound deadening in the panel vans

            I was going to mention the diesel/petrol thing but held back.

            Just make sure you remember that it is DIESEL that you put in the tank

              Volkswagen will charge you about A$ 350.00 should you make the mistake of putting petrol in your Diesel Caddy.
              It will not run properly.
              I know, I tried it.
              Ooops
