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,

              IIRC I think someone mentioned on this thread that it's probably far easier to list which models are NOT affected.........

                Well, obviously you wouldn't. You are a member of the VW Haters Party. Just read your previous comments

                      It already is! >80% of the posts of this thread are from VW Haters or opportunists looking to make a buck.

                      If Elmura wants to debate, try to present alternate facts with links.
                      P.s as to fuelling hatred , I'm the third, or forth person elmura has attacked in this thread alone with trolling accusations. (Post 535 this thread)Good job!
                      Mate, you're a piece of work! You first attacked me with your comment:
                      "*Congratulations!!!*
                      You have just been offered 2 jobs, one with VW engineering, the other in their marketing."

                      Then you went and edited your statement in the second paragraph after I called you out for spreading lies claiming the cars have “problems” as per your original comment: "So if we all shush about the deceit and issues we can scam the used car buyer into paying more for the car with those problems."

                      On top of that, you then went and added a few more paragraphs to take the “edge” off your attack AFTER I put out that warning. Trying to cover your arse are you? What a joke.

                        If by hate you mean posting with links to trusted sources of info then by all means yes lol. You come in here and just rant. No clear thoughts from you. Point out specifically what you have an issue with and back it up with relevant info or shut up.

                          And if they did, I can imagine any poor sod who draws the short straw to maintain an official VW presence on this thread would be flamed to ashes by angry disappointed customers

                          • Maybe the 'labels' used on this forum are part of the problem in as much as you are basically labeled a VW 'fan' or 'fanatic'.
                            There is, it seems, no acceptance of being unaligned and simply enquiring.
                            Anyone who doesn't fall in to line is an enemy it seems.

                            • And so the thread, which always only had a tenuous grip on reality, descended into name-calling, the name-callers hammering away on their keyboards, the name-called thinking they could win the internets by trying to reason with the name-callers...., and everyone else laughed at the grown people who think they can win arguments on internet forums.

                              How about everyone stick to topic?

                                Good point, I'll restrain my response. As others have tried to explain, this is going in circles.
                                I propose that future comments be similarly restrained. And, toned down. Enquiries, links & discussion.
                                Rants & aggression will be responded to in same manner.
