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,

  • Golf learner near death crash.

    What is with these young drivers.
    From the TV report it looked like a mk4.

    A teenager and his friends were lucky to avoid serious injuries after their car ploughed into a power pole in Sydney's north, police say.

    I must say, that looks fantastic for the safety of our Golfs.. VW must love the publicity, not many cars take out poles and come off best

      VW: it aint just a car, its a way of life
      There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it

        That's what I thought when I read the report this morning. VW FTW!

        A (male!) colleague of mine had been arguing that there was no point buying a Golf over a Yaris or Jazz. He had to concede this one.

        Then again, the guy () drives a Starlet and likes coupe convertibles...

                Guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that one LOL

                PS, notice there were no pics of VWs in your post.

                As for VW loving the publicity, I doubt it very much.

                Cheers

                  True, the Eos isn't as ugly as others.

                  I don't think the PR is all that bad for VW either. Recently a guy rolled a BMW X5 near Mudgee. Locals were astounded he survived and I remember talkeing to several different people who thought the BMW saved its driver.
