Scirocco Central

P.s Thanks Trix, i'll have a word with the dealer!!

I got a good discount on mine, not many extra's. I have parking sensors, Premium sills. Its in salsa red, so not many about. But i paid 18,995 for it new. A dealer doesn't have to know how much i paid for it so was hoping i could get nearly what i paid for it. its only got 10000 miles on the clock a...

A mate of mine has just part exchanged his 1 year old, 15000 miles on the clock, scirocco gt for just under £19000. I've heard there is a big demand for them as vw has lowered the unit output and therefore delaying orders. Mines only got 10000 miles on the clock and im just not loving it as much as ...

Anyone elaborate on this indicator method? First i've heard of it, didn't know you could turn them off! Some old duffer came over to me in a garage a couple of months back and told me to turn my fog lights off, tried to explain they weren't fogs but DRL's!! ha

Not a new model as such, an upgrade. I just read this article.

just a bit annoyed that mine is now inferior!

Just read the other day that all new sciroccos will come out with the new engine from the GTI and a few other upgrades. I'm a bit worried that as i got mine back in december 2008, its going to effect the value of mine when i come to sell it! Is this just a normal problem when buying a brand new car ...

Thanks

Parking sensors are a must! Rear visiblity is not great out the old roc! Still love it tho!

Had the same problem on my old GTI, could never keep the exhaust clean!

Anyone got any methods for keep the exhaust free from stains??

Thats right, had it fitted in my old GTI! It's not that good really, maximum of 5 playlists and the 6th plays your whole ipod. Really hard to find tracks. Probably the same in the Scirocco. I'd stick with the standard cable!

They don't look half as good tho! I bet you'll be happy when it arrives.

(Nice colour choice by the way )

I'm in leeds so i'm sure there are a few places round here that could help me!

Thanks for the advice guys, appreciate it!

I'll let you know how i get on!

I'm in Leeds, so i have no idea about any bodyshops round here! I'll see what they say but its starting to sound like its going to be more hassle than its worth! I'll let you know what the verdict is! I'd be interested to know if anyone else has had the same problem? From other guys it sounds like i...

Thanks iambu! I'll check it out!

Thanks for the thread! 2 bucket method sounds great! Also i don't really pre rinse so that may be where i'm going wrong!!

You know any companys that could restore it and what price im looking at roughly??

I've been using a car washing kit with chamois and leather and all that good stuff!

Just think some dirt must have got in it!

I'm not sure i no what you mean when you say ''professional detail'' on it?

Had mine around 3 months now and been washing it quite a lot! Recently as the suns been out a bit more, i've noticed little scratches all over the paint. Not noticable unless the light catches them, but they're all over the car! Like some grit or dirt has got in my cloth, and i've just done it to th...

Great, i'll have a chat with the dealer! Hopefully taking it in on thursday!

I've had it for 3 months now. if its resprayed, will it look different to the rest of the car as it may have had time to fade slightly? Or do you think they can do the whole car?

Thanks andy, may need to borrow the keys for that! :oops: :roll:

Took mine back to the dealer today! It happens from 2200rpm - 2800rpm. i had Mk5 Gti before the roc with basically the same engine and it didn't do it on the golf! Other guys here think its the water pump and its perfectly normal! The VW Mechanic tended to agree with that, but then again he confesse...
