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.

  • Volkswagen offering free vehicle inspections in light of its recent media coverage

    Just received an email from Volkswagen and thought I would post this up for any that may not receive it.


    For 60 years, the safety and peace of mind of Australians has been our highest priority. We continue to stand by the quality of our cars and the integrity of our engineering excellence in meeting this responsibility.

    However, we understand the recent coverage has caused some concern for our customers. We feel the best way to demonstrate our commitment is with several immediate measures.

    If you are concerned about your Volkswagen vehicle due to this recent media coverage, for your peace of mind, Volkswagen Australia is offering a free inspection of your vehicle at any Volkswagen dealer throughout Australia.

    As a valued Volkswagen owner if you want any questions answered, we are here to help. We have set up a dedicated Customer Care hotline on 1800 504 076 (available Monday to Friday from 8:30am - 5:00pm AEST) and email at vgasupport@volkswagen.com.au. Alternatively you can visit your local Volkswagen dealer.

      Got the same email.......they are definitely worried about their brand. If it suffers any more bad publicity, me tinks there maybe a recall of DSG clutches....fingers crossed for those who are suffering.

              All I can say is that any of you even contemplating if you have an issue should register. It's taken a lot o hard work to get to this point so I highly suggest that you all take advantage of the situation... You never know what might happen.
