Re: Do Sciroccos aggravate golf drivers?

Not sure as it's confined to Golf drivers to be honest, seems as though these days there are many a motorist who seem to want to prove a point regardless of the make of their vehicle. Had 3 Sciroccos since their launch back in '08, now in a GTI MK7 PP and will always have a soft spot for the 'Roc......

Re: End of an era

Cheers Salsajoe, to be fair to VW I've been lucky and that's the only significant issue I've had over the last 6 years. Have really enjoyed the cars, just somehow managed an offer from VW that I couldn't refuse. It'll be interesting to see what 2017 brings with a new Scirocco, or a Corrado possibly?...

End of an era

Well folks, today's the day. After 3 Sciroccos and nearly 6 years of Scirocco ownership it's time for a change. Have had an intermittent fault in my Jan 2014 GT Bluemotion having transferred (via VW) the RNS 510 from my first Scirocco, which VW sadly, despite their best efforts, have been unable to ...

Re: Quirky RNS 510 Issues

Hi dimexi, Sorry for the delay replying, yeah they sent the unit away to be analysed and fitted a 'temporary replacement' whilst they did it, same fault with the newer unit. Suspected fault with the new car's wiring loom somewhere along the line. Have to say though Inchcape Altrincham have really lo...

Re: Quirky RNS 510 Issues

Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts? The unit failed to switch on, VW have cured that fault but now advise they can't turn it off when removing the ignition.

Quirky RNS 510 Issues

Hi there, Have trawled the search function but can't find anything relating to my RNS issue. Just wondered if anyone has any ideas as to a couple of issues I'm having with an RNS 510 unit? I'm now on my third Scirocco and have carried forward the unit from my previous '08 model, into a 2012 Bluemoti...

Re: Scirocco Diesel Bluemotion 140 GT Dash Rattle Cure

Hope they managed to sort it for you Ben, know the feeling as it was really starting to get on my nerves. Feels a different car now and hardly notice the engine noise as being intrusive (although I do still miss my 2 litre TSI, but not it's fuel bills).

Hope the post helped.

Scirocco Diesel Bluemotion 140 GT Dash Rattle Cure

Currently driving a 2012 Bluemotion GT and a few months ago it developed a dash rattle at low revs when moving off in 1st gear or under slight load in anything up to 3rd. The sound emanated from the glovebox area. Took it to Inchcape in Altrincham and they diagnosed it as a clutch pipe rattle which ...

Anyone fancy a Scirocco R ex demonstrator?

Waaaaay outside of my budget sadly but happened to come across a Scirocco R ex demonstrator 59 plate in Rising Blue up for grabs at a dealership. Won't put the full dealer link on here for fear of advertising etc however I'd say that the Scirocco R seems to be developing a good 'Heritage'. No idea i...
