Scirocco Central

Did not follow a guide as done a number of VW retrofits. Simple to do on a Rocco as you can place the Bluetooth box behind the climate controls. Your not that far from me so could help you do it and code it for you if you came to me. That's very kind mate, where abouts are you? Without wishing to s...

I retrofitted the OEM vw Bluetooth kit into mine and it could not be Easyer. Took me about half an hour to do then a couple of minutes to code in. You can get the complete VW kits for £210 off ebay and they include everything needed. Did you use any guides or instructions to install the Bluetooth? ...

I use Auto Finesse Avalanche snow foam (which I believe is a product with the same sort of ingredients as their Citrus Power pre-wash) before every wash. Whilst I agree it can never replace a full wash, I do think it has a place in my wash routine. I find it does lift a top layer of 'loose' dirt, wh...

Only things I can think of is to polish the windscreen and keep rubbing the wiper blades with IPA until no more crap will come off. I was amazed how much time it took until the cloth stayed clean after rubbing my wiper blades!

I don't think I'd fancy trying the Stanley blade suggestion myself...try rubbing it with some IPA and if that doesn't work you could even try going over it with a clay bar and/or some glass polish.

I had a look on the Brembo Aftermarket Catalogue ( http://www.bremboaftermarket.com/En/Car_Disc_Catalogue/Catalogue_Search.aspx ) however there doesn't seem to be a part number listed for the rear discs of the 1.4 TSI 160 in Brembo Maxx spec. I was also looking into these discs for my TDI but strugg...

I usually use a Meguiar's Lambswool Mitt (http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/meguiars-lambswool-wash-mitt-cat3.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), I've had two on the go for a couple of years and as long as you rinse them through after use they seem to stay pretty mu...

I've looked into this very briefly in the past and from what I was able to gather it is extremely time consuming to 'correct' glass. It might be possible to remove light scratches however if there is any significance to the defect it's unlikely to polish out as glass is so hard. You would need to us...

I must say I've ordered from Chemical Guys UK maybe 3/4 times over the past couple of years and didn't have any issues. I wasn't aware of the bad reputation they've been earning until reading WhiteDevil's link, maybe I just got lucky?...It's shame really because some of their products are really top...

This was my first thought when reading OP, I'm sure I've seen this somewhere too.

Got to admitt a part of me did think 'oooOOO, they will look good!' ...did you notice any difference in performance vs the oem Audi discs?

Cheers mate, I have been reading about Brembo Maxx Discs which have caught my eye, they have groves on the disc to supposedly increase stopping performance, though they are quite expensive...Does anybody have experience with them? However if most of the 'standard' setups are going to perform pretty ...

Thanks for the replies everyone.

What are your thoughts on Brembo/Mintex/EBC 'standard' (i.e. not fast road/track spec) replacement discs and pads vs the oem Pagid ones?...Would I see any benefits in performance or less dusting?

Thanks for the reply Gray. I have been reading lots about the various discs and pad combinations, and had pretty much decided on the Brembo discs as well. Pads wise I had been leaning towards Mintex M1144 after hearing so many good things about them, although they do seem a little on the expensive s...

The easiest way to make cleaning the car quicker & easier is to seal the paint with a wax or sealant first, so it is harder for the dirt, bugs, etc to 'stick' to the car and in turn, easier to get them off. Some suggestions for products that I use to remove said contaminants are: Auto Finesse Ci...

Sorry to bring up an old thread but thought it might be better than starting a new one... I too am looking at changing discs & pads all round and wouldn't mind attempting the work myself, however I don't have any previous mechanical experience/knowledge when it comes to this sort of thing...is t...

Yeah I would guess it's just somebodies Photoshopped interpretation of a Scirocco with the new style VW/mk7 Golf lights/front end.

hey ive been using werkstat acrylic but im not really get any results imo and wax's or sealants you could recommend plz thx all I too am surprised you're not happy with the results of the Werkstat kit, I've been dying to try it out after hearing so many people say great things about it...Where/how ...

Fab reflection that mate, top work

Keen to try out the Werkstat Acrylic system myself.

FinishKare FK1000P is a tough, long lasting and relatively inexpensive wax/sealant, its super-easy to apply and it comes in a big tin so you wont run out in a hurry either. Auto Finesse Tough Coat is also a great long-lasting sealant worth considering as well. It is important to bare in mind that th...
