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,

  • My 2009 CC

    Here's a before and after

    A before


    After:



    Very happy with the CC so far, few minor warranty issues (passenger seat and rear door seals) plus the usual factory recalls on the DSG and the uppipe.

    One more thing to fix is a bit more involved seems to be a ticking (much like tappets) but VW tech seems to indicate an exhaust leak, so wants the car a few days to troubleshoot. am in my extended warranty period, so hopefully won't cost me a cent.

    Thoughts on the R32 wheels?

    Cheers

    i have always loved those r32 wheels. im not one of the ''stance'' boys who like their cars to be super low, but a reduction in wheel arch gap would do the wheels justice in my opinion.

    any other plans for it?

      LOVE the passat cc!

      Not a fan of the zolders unfortunately. The wild spokes don't match the beautiful flowing lines of the passat imo...

      Still nice. But five spokes were lovely...

        Passat CC's look awesome, though I'm with Dainese, the 5 spoke rims suite the CC better, but its your car, so If your happy with the Zolders, stick with em I say

        I would also drop it a tad too

          Dcc = lower no. I'd love to though as I whole heartedly agree it needs an inch lower

          I really only bought for the tyres, but the 5 spokes will get the next lot of tyres in 6 months

            nice car mate but those wheels don't suit it. Put the 5 spokes back on

              To be honest i don't like the new wheels at all.
              I think it's the thin spokes and thing gaps between the spokes.

              Bentley's or AMG's look good though.

                As mentioned, it will get the 5 spokes back on towards the end of the year - I'm running 6mths per set of tyres i've done 20k on my old set on the 5 spokes and I seem to have just under 30% left on them, so these tyres (toyo's) will prob last the same as the old (new) Bridgestones.

                Bentleys look the bomb.. but I don't want to spend the $ to match.
                AMG's would be a goer but as per Bentleys, a bit pricey!

                    ^^^This.

                    The simple 5-spoked design of the NUE's would be really nice on the CC (not to mention the finish). As mentioned before, the smoothness of the cars lines are interrupted considerably by the Zolders. Big ups for going a different route on the CC though

                      Checked them out and All I can say is very nice. In 19/20s they would be magic.

                        while i dont mind the R32 wheels on thier own, i dont think im a fan on the CC.
                        cleaning those 5 spokes is a dream! my dad has them too.
                        careful if going amg, bentley or other after market wheels about having it stock height, OEM looking wheels work, but after market wheel at stock height can tend to look funky.

                        thumbs up for changing it up on a CC tho, dont think we will see much happening to them in AUS for a while..

                          the new CC imo doesn't have the wow factor that the previous model (mine) has.

                          5 spokes will be back on around Nov, unless someone wants to buy the wheels
