Weird missfire story

Sounds like cylinder 3 isn't happy - could be coil pack (at best).... Worrying why he supercharger clutch is showing excessive wear - could have been compensating for the failed turbo.... Might be worth clearing the faults if you haven't already, then seeing what comes back. It might have gone into ...

Weird missfire story

Sounds like coil packs, but.....

What happened to the turbo?? No metal left in the engine??

Codes will show what's in error, but I would get it into a dealers pronto!

Scared of your Roc?

Now, that's different !! Self inflicted damage is ok-ish, someone else doing it is definitely not!!

What did you do to your Scirocco today?

Fitted alloy pedals, topped up the oil, inflated tires, good snow foam clean, changed the interior lights to blue (jury's still out) and then drive to Blackpool!

Which diesel? 140 or 170?

Go for the GT170 - just driven 280 miles up the m5/6, followed by a sprint down some country lanes and it's superb!

Obviously get it chipped, I'm pushing 212hp, and you can certainly feel the difference.

Oh, 49mpg all the way, so not too bad at all!!

Re: Speech button on steering wheel

Sorry - not been around for a couple of days.... I've got this module: 7P6035730G RCD 510 head-unit. You need to set the VCDS settings as shown before, then voice-control will work ok. (I had to try a combination of settings, I'll report back what I've got set later, as I need to change something to...

remove map lights console

Just behind the flip down sunglasses compartment - you should see the sensors. You need either long fingernails or a plastic tool (so you don't scratch anything) - just gently prise the sensor cover down - gently now!! Don't try to prise the sensors themselves, it's the plastic cover over them. Look...

i am looking for a guide that explain how to remove map lights console.
thanks...
It's easy - the panel that covers the alarm sensors flips down. Under there, you will find 2 torx screws.

Just undo those, and the whole panel comes down.

New car - convert from a mini!

Hi all, After 4 years in a fairly well modded R56 Mini Cooper S, I've joined the ROC club! 2011 Deep Black GT 170 DSG, already done one small mod (red footwell lights), but more to come! Should be up to 212bph early Feb (thanks to Will at ptorque), and who knows what else.... Vag-com on its way too,...
