Re: What now diesel?
Was you mis sold? Did it perform as it should. Did you get mpg close to what it states. I don't see how people can say I was mis sold a car. They didn't say your buying a scirocco and then went to pick it up and it was a Fiat panda. Tend to agree with you. Will go with the flow as goes the lawyers ...

Re: What now diesel?
Don't panic anyway, this whole scandal is nowhere near what our sensationalistic media are making it out to be in my humble opinion. As far as I can make out what they've done is only actually illegal in the US. It certainly wont put me off buying VW. It annoys me that I may have been potentially m...

Re: What now diesel?
I bought a Scirocco TDI 170 (11 Plate) back in March 2012 from a VW dealer. It was a great car but two years later upgraded to a Golf GTi. More than likely going back to a Rocco next March. It appears this model is effected by the emissions scandal. Was I mis-sold this car? Great car but it appears ...

Noises when braking
Hi folks, My car has been parked up for ten days whilst on my holidays. I've driven it for the first time and when I brake there is a repeated knocking noise which are closer together the faster I am travelling. Have driven it a good three miles or more and still the noises persist. Hope somebody ca...

Re: Steering Issue
My car is exactly the same model except I have 18 not 19 wheels and is also just coming up to 12000 miles. Serviced a couple of weeks ago and recently both front tyres replaced (looks like somebody put a knife through the first one). Exactly the same problem - loose steering, although Sport mode not...

Re: Heated Back Window Problems
I'm having my windscreen replaced under warranty. The breaks trailed from the edge of the screen and are both about five/six inches long.

Re: Heated Back Window Problems
Yes I have the same problem. The fourth and fifth bar down. Have just spoken to my dealer ( as it is due to be picked up for it's service ) and they have advised me they will check for scratches and damage and will let me know if it's a warranty repair. I would love to know how you would damage the ...

Puncture - Warning Light
Had an orange warning light ( an exclamation mark ) and car seemed to be pulling to the left. Lo and behold a front nearside flat.
But there is still a warning light even after the spacesaver has been put on. Is this normal ?
Hope someone can put my mind at ease.

Re: Real MPG for 140tdi bluemotion
Have got a GTDi170 and I do about 40 miles commute there and back mostly A Roads. Average between 48-52 when it's fairly quiet, maybe 45-48 when it's busier.

Re: Poor at De-misting?
This is my first winter as a Rocco owner but I find the rear window far more of a problem. I don't think you'll get a quick instant solution in any car but I've driven thirty minutes plus and the rear window is still steamed up.

Re: Do you have any funny 'rituals'?
I am quite embarrassed to admit this but I have 'driving footwear' but I don't feel right until I've wiped the rear window. I can only drive in one set of footwear.

Gold on Rising blue would look very smart indeed (coupled with Gold alloys). Or is that too Subarooish ?????

Re: Does your Roc still turn heads?
It certainly turned my head and that's all that matters. I'm not really that bothered what other people think.
