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,

  • Officially Official: Volkswagen Amarok Pickup Makes The Scene







    The write up is in the blog.

    I like it but the tray isn't long enough to be of much commercial use really.

    It's like the new Navara in regards to tray length.
    Still awesome to see a proper VW Ute again

    Just need an R-Line variant and a longer tray and it will be truly awesome.

          looks tough.... but, NEEDS TO BE LOWER

          There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it

            Very interesting. It does look nice. These sorts of utes are VERY popular in Southern Africa where the Hilux is king. The Nissan Navara (called the Hardbody in Africa) and Isuzu will probably the the main competition for it. Will be interested to see what the uptake in Aus is like. When do they reach our shores?

            Looking at the engines, the power ratings are different to those of the Tiguan's TDI, so I'm wondering if it's a totally different engine designed specifically for the Amarok?

              Provided it's priced right, VW can take the cake from Toyota in this sector as well

                    What do you think they'll sell for here? Or are they even confirmed? I am thinking of a 4x4 Dual Cab Hilux (NEVER thought i'd drive a toyota) after the .:R but this would be WAY better!

                      AGREED!! hahaha

                      This is awesome...it's tough, it actually doesn't look out of whack which I thought it might, and it's direct competition for those BLOODY hiluxes bro!

                      Epic win.
