Scirocco Central

Dropped it off at the dealer to get a new turbo fitted (as it kept going in limp mode).
Ready for some fresh power!

Sounds a lot like the problem I recently had: http://www.sciroccocentral.co.uk/forum/ ... 25&t=15281" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Does the lack of power remain after turning the ignition off and on again?

To conclude this topic:

It happened again a couple of times, which is why I let the people at Ridgeway have another go at it.
They could reproduce the issue this time and replaced the N75 valve as a result.

Let's hope this fixed all of it so I can finally enjoy my ride to the fullest .

They couldn't get me the fault code... Anyhow, they "reset the computer system" and asked me to see if it pops up again. If so, I'll probably try to find someone in the area to read it out for me before taking it back to the dealer (so I can maybe tell them how to fix it...). On the bright...

I'll see if the folks at the dealership can tell me the fault code tomorrow. It's worrying how little they could tell me about this issue :s .

They called me again to see if they can contact the head office. They sounded confused...
Should know more tomorrow.

It's at Ridgeway Reading atm, bought it from Lancaster Milton Keynes.
Ridgeway say they can't find out if it's been remapped (which seem odd). Contacted the Lancaster salesman and he also didn't know about any modifications...

The technicians at VW Ridgeway now found out that the exhaust is not OEM and that there may have been a remap (seemed way faster than normal to them). This may be causing an overboost. I'm quite surprised, as I would have expected the VW dealer to tell me about this when I bought the car 2 weeks ago...

Did some reading on this limp mode and seems like that's it indeed.
Gonna bring it over to the dealer tomorrow, hopefully nothing too expensive...

Thanks for your replies .

Bah, happened again today (in D-mode, normal acceleration). Switched the engine off for a couple seconds and the problem was solved.
Probably some software issue .

Hi, On the way home tonight, I decided to give my Scirocco the beans. After getting the engine up to temperature, I put the DSG in S-mode and floored it (20-70mph on an empty motorway on-ramp). When I put it back in D after that, I suddenly lost most of the performance. It was like I was driving a 8...

Picked it up from the Milton Keynes dealership .

The documents weren't there because of "complications". Decided to back out and go for a VW approved used.

Thanks for the replies .

Hi all, I'm in the process of buying a used Scirocco R, this one: http://www.wokinghamcarcentre.co.uk/used-cars/volkswagen-scirocco-2-0-tsi-r-3dr-dsg-nr-bracknell-201310229395238 . I have a couple of practical questions though. I just moved to the UK from Belgium, so not really sure if this dealer i...
