Scirocco Central

I'm due to change my current R and had been waiting to see the 'facelift', talk about disappointment. Those dials on the top of the dash are just wrong. After much deliberation I've decided to look elsewhere. Let's see if there's an improved Roc in 2-3 years time. Here's hoping.

I agree, now you've gone for it lets see the pics!

Hope you enjoy. I remember that feeling well!

I certainly wouldn't swap a Scirocco R for a Golf GTI unless you specifically want something a little bit cheaper to run or some other specific reason. But I agree with Cuprabob above, it's obviously a decision only you can make at the end of the day, and I'm sure you have your personal reasons. I'm...

A little configurator-ish page here: http://www.volkswagen-r.de/#!sciroccoR/newVisualizer" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I dig the gold color :) Looks nice in that configuration thing, but I don't understand why they make it look like that, slammed to the floor. At the end...

I've started hearing a noticable creaking sound when going over bumps, particularly speed bumps even though I only go really slowly over them. It's definitely coming from behind the dash/engine area and seems to have got a bit worse recently. It's lower down than the scuttle area and is definitely a...

I admire you for not giving in straight away and going down the route of a 'dad car' as you put it. If you can make it work with a rocco then bloody good luck to you and stick to your guns. Life's for living.

I stand corrected.

Do you think they'll actually put those top centre console gauges in the production models? I thought they were trying to standardize as much as they can across the vw range, but I've never seen those on any other vw model. Unless I'm mistaken of course.

Sorry to be harsh here, but their 'bonus' situation is absolutely nothing to do with you! If he had done the job properly in the first place rather than bodging it then it wouldn't have even been an issue. I had exactly the same problem a few years back with my first Roc - the seat cover came away f...

I have the very same issue where the water leaks from the washer fluid bottle. As soon as I fill it up even half way it leaks out fairly rapidly to a point where it gives a warning that the fluid level is low. It does this continuously. My car is going in for a checkup with VW next week, I'm just h...

I had a leak from mine from the headlight washer pump which is located near the bottom of the washer bottle and the dealer had to take the bumper off to replace. Not enough access through the lower grill apparently. Got this sorted the other week, it was exactly the same problem you had Cuprabob - ...

I got an orange warning light on the dash today for low screenwash level (or empty). Topped it up when I got home only to find all the water I'd just poured in pouring out underneath on to the floor. After a search on here I found the following topic but I think this post is referring to a standard ...

Eventually managed to get the car into the dealers today. The verdict? Needs a brand new Air Con Compressor. Thank god for the warranty! Indeed - that would probably be several hundred including labour. Brand new compressor, drier and re-gassed. They quoted approx £500 parts and fitting - invoiced ...

Someone said to me in work today, "all aircon makes a sound". Can I just point out that this is not the normal aircon sound, this clearly sounds like something is wrong, it's really noticeable and sounds rough. it's only the fact that I've started to notice the sound now even when the airc...

Anyone experienced this? For the past few months I've had what I would describe as a sort of very noticable whine sound when I switch on the Aircon. I don't use the aircon much hence the reason I haven't had it into the dealers yet, but lately I've noticed a similar but much quieter sound from the e...

Thanks for that bianco. That's what I originally thought. I was having a good feel around that area of the dash and it feels pretty solid hence the query. Thanks again.
