Re: Traded my Scirocco

Audi's DSG is called S-Tronic. Multitronic is a transmission with indefinite number of gears (the so called continuous variable transmission). You don't ever feel it changing gears as it works.

Traded my Scirocco

After 2,5 years and 125,000 kms it was time to trade in my Scirocco. Since I wanted something attractive with 5-door practicality, I went for the new A5 sportback s-line. Few pics attached. http://shrani.si/f/3F/gV/4z9GJezs/a5tint1.jpg http://shrani.si/f/3m/4F/2ARWzoJu/a5tint2.jpg http://shrani.si/f...

Re: Totally off topic! New peugeot RCZ

Drove it a couple of days back. Steering feedback is bad, the ride is uncomfortable (too stiff suspension setting and unadjustable), but the gearbox is nice. And the built quality is good. The car is stylish indeed.

I'll keep my Roc .. :)

Re: High Mileage Reliability and wear and tear?

I'm at 62.000 km; changed front tires once; rears are still good (I use winter tires in the winter). Brakes are still in excellent condition and need no changing. No problems so far, except had the rear leather seating replaced due to a factory mistake.

Re: Tailgate rattle/clunk

This might help a few troubled souls here. I had a boot rattle for the past few weeks and had trouble locating it. It wasnt the boot rubber balls. The noise was onlyo occuring when nobody was sitting on the rear seats. I located the noise, which was coming from the metal bar, which holds the seat in...

Re: tradeing my scirocco for a3

A3 is not a bad car. But compared to the Roc it's just plain and boring.

Re: Tailgate rattle/clunk

Matija reading your experience of the boot not rattling when rear seat is used: maybe the issue is in one of the back seats, more precisely in the locks. Had a similar issue with GF's VW polo, where I couldnt find the source of the boot rattle until I found out it doesnt rattle when rear seats are u...

My wiper blades left a bad smear after a few months... had only the rubbers replaced on a VW service for EUR 10, solved the problem... No need to order new blades..

Re: Over heating 170 TDI

This had also happened to me on two or three occasions, when the car was new. I dont think its a problem, as it hasn't happened in the last 15.000 mi, IMO Regen is a good theory

Re: Rattly Windscreen

This was a solution for me... inserted a piece of foam under the plastic cover under the bonnet.. fixed it.. the plastic rattles when in contact with the metal. http://picasaweb.google.si/andrej.kirm/SciroccoFix?feat=directlink" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; hope this helps!

Re: Newbie Advice please 1.4Tsi Vs 2.0Tdi?

Go for the TDI, do a remap (you can get from 175 - 195 PS) and enjoy the performance as you'll have HP close to 2.0 TSI, only with much more torque..
and of course, you'll be doing close to 40 % more range with a TDI..
