Scirocco Central

grrrr..... I hate it when this happens but its all too common, paricularly if you park on the street.
There is a distinct lack of respect for others property...

After seeing your post yesterday I paid a bit more attention to the DSG changes. Mine also changes at about 1600-1700 rpm if being driven gently. I can't say the engine really labours though, its a pretty smooth transition for the level of throttle being applied. Is your car brand new? Maybe the eng...

Does it rev more if you stick it in S? It should rev much closer to the redline (mine actually revs a little higher than I think is necessary).

If I am very light on the throttle I find mine does change quite early, but soon kicks down if you need it too!

With regard to the sub enclosure does anyone know if the UK Scirocco comes with a spare wheel, or is it a space saver or tyre foam? The enclosure mounted as above would be perfect as there would be no space taken up and tyre foam is fine as a substitute for me. Scott UK cars come with a spacesaver ...

I got 63.9 mpg on my 30 mile commute this morning.
Very happy with that

There is lots of threads about noisey boot lids. Have you looked at those?

Thats very strange, not had anything like it, had it roll backwards a couple of times which has caught me by suprise though!

Completely off topic what are wayside like in St Albans? its probably my closest dealer...

apart from the looks do they add much? are they really that much brighter? Like night and day, once you've had a car with Xenons you won't go back I've had a car with xenons, it didn't bother me in the slightest but until 6 months ago I lived in London so must have put full beam on about 3 times a ...

ah good, I think its one of the better diesel units out there too so you'll love it.

Its pretty dark in the back though, a vomitting teenager in the back would definately put me off

I've only had my 170 a few weeks now but thought I would stick my comments on too. Speed: Its definately a quick car once moving. I'v had a lot of cars in the past few years (vx220, 350z, remapped octavia vrs amongst others) at motorway speeds I would guess the 350z would just have the edge but it w...

Sounds like you may have already found the problem... (assuming you don't have sat nav Gary?) I seem to recall there being a light sensor on one of the top corners of the RCD. Your Parrot isn't obstructing that by any chance ? Yes the light sensor is on the top right of the RCD (i.e not sat nav ster...

Hmmm... well I had a look and I wouldn't say the needle "jumps" up the first 500 rpm. It certainly goes through them very quickly but I wouldn't say it wasn't smooth. No real judder either (well no worse than I would expect from a diesel!

Only the 2 of us then I will have to try another phone and see if that helps...

can't say I've noticed this in my 170 but I'll have a look and report back tomorrow!

Mines called Jennifer because its got a big behind
(I'll get my coat )

Its not something I tend to look at a lot but the few times I have mine seems to be in the high 90's so about the same...

I kinda like that look on Kenti's car.

Does remind me of a mk1 Leon Cupra R though which had a similar badge in a similar place...

It just looks wrong

Does that help?

I used to have this on my old 350z, anything like a frost and the whole door would be frown solid, very annoying!
