Scirocco Central

I don't understand why with already so many complains about this action in Europa (since everybody is affected) no one is asking VW about it? Is it assumed that we need to pay the price for all this story? Why not leave the cars as they are and forget it? I don't want to sell my car but I also don't...

I found also this: http://www.volkswagenforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=24887&page=8&highlight=diesel+recall" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; A Scirocco owner said that he tried to restore the original files after the recall but the update has locked out any further acce...

I am following the feedback from the people in a daily base:

And... I don't like all this story.

The remap will remove completely the VW fix or we will have parameters that the remap company will benot able to change (for instance pre or after injection)? It is clearly visible that this change will increase the number of DPF regenerations and the engine vibrations. All those consequences can be...

Hi. In Portugal only now they are sending the letters for this recall. This means that no info is available regarding the effects in Scirocco. Nevertheless we have some problems already reported in 1.6 Tdi cars, mainly related to injectors. At this country we have no alternative other than do this s...

Although, all fuel is supplied with additives. And is known the relationship between Liqui Moly and VW...

Hi since some years ago I use a fuel treatment additive from the company Pure Solve. They have for diesel the DT1 Mechanix Choise and for benzin the GT1 Mechanix Choise. In both cases the objective is maintain the fuel system clean and avoid future problems. I used both products (diesel and benzin) ...

I found this link that I think it's interesting.

The European standards are are not so hard to fulfill as the American ones. This is the reason why they were not able to achieve the values there. Nevertheless, the NOx and CO limits established as limits for each European country are mandatory. I only know an Italian study where the car became even...

I have the same point of view about this issue. For me, till VW presents measured results (torque, fuel cons. and reliability) I don't trust this action. I don't believe in miracles. There is no independent comparative tests done (by a car magazine, for instance) to the old/new scenario. That is als...

That kind of info would be a way to assure that all is ok. But VW is not interested in present that study.

If you have the ECU mapped they request you to sign a paper authorizing the change. With that they are on the safe side if something goes wrong and a new module needs to be used.

Hi. Here in Portugal no Scirocco was called to do the software correction. This means that no feedback about the change impact is available. I don't expect visible changes to performance or fuel consumption. But I am afraid of the impact in DPF lifetime since in my opinion the car will increase the ...

You are looking inside the car. The plastic parts that you refere are the 2 Steering Column Covers. You need to go outside and look under the car, at the middle from the 2 front wheels. Maybe it is dificult because you have no space to go there but you can use a jack to get more space there.

I don't know how to post a photo but it is easy to find the heat shield. You have a thin aluminium metalic sheet covering the steering box. If you go below the car at the front axis area you see this.

You were right Komar. It was the same problem. I only touched the heat shield and the problem disappeared. Strange because there is no touch condition around this heat protector. Maybe it was only caused by the vibration.
Thanks. It was great.

THANKS! I will check that. It was a good help.

This is the noise I have. It is like a metalic spring being compressed. Any suggestion?

Hi.

In my car the same noise started this week. I thought it was some rubbers or even a heat protection-cover issue. Have you have any further info about your car?
Thanks.

But if there is any shock absorbers failure the system give us a warning signal (the control light is blinking). Right?
