Re: Need help asap

I was in a similar situation with Vauxhall a few years ago. It should have been one previous owner, but when the log book arrived I was the 4th! It was only an 11 month old car, from an official Vauxhall dealership. I made a complaint, and their management just came back stating I should have asked ...

Re: Do Sciroccos not have a low windscreen washer warning li

I have the winter pack, and once the light comes on, it stays on until you fill it up. Always seems to be on at the moment with the poor weather!!

Re: Lugano Tyres 235/35/19 - Options / Opinions

The service report states the wear is quite even: 4mm/3mm/3mm - Gonna leave them on for abit longer, so maybe i'll see around 12k.

Im glad that im not the only one - the rears are still at 7mm, so it looks like i'll get around 3 sets on the front to 1 set on the back - crazy!!

Lugano Tyres 235/35/19 - Options / Opinions

Hi All, Ive got Lugano alloys on my Rocco, and its in todays for its first service (10k miles). Ive had a call from the garage that the front offside tyre is 3mm and they are advising to change it. They have suggested a khumo, but id rather stick with the OE Pirelli PZeros. Should the tyres only las...

Re: Any views on the BMW 123d Coupe

I only went on a short test drive, but it was noticeably quicker, especially from a stand still. The main reason I didnt buy was their used cost, and the fast to buy new was out of my price range.

Re: Any views on the BMW 123d Coupe

I drove the exact car prior to buying the Scirocco. It was used, 1 year old, and the dealer wouldnt reach a deal. Wouldnt reduce the screen price, so I walked away. It was shit hot though mate! Went like stink!

Re: Knocking noise rear drivers side

Brilliant! Done! Thanks for the advice! Should have asked on here before taking it to the dealers. They reckon they had already adjusted it, but im now wondering if they didnt even look at it...

Re: Knocking noise rear drivers side

Thanks for the advice. The knocking is coming from the drivers side, so this afternoon I stripped out the boot lining and found the parking sensor control unit - as the video shows its barely attached and shakes around everywhere. So I wedged it with a nice piece of sponge. Sorted - or so I thought....

Knocking noise rear drivers side

Morning All, I took my car back to the dealers this week as ive got a knocking noise coming from the boot, on the drivers side. It tends to knock when travelling on a rough / bumpy road. Its done it since new, and I had the seats down the other day and you can hear it much more clearly. The dealers ...

Tesco Diesel

Ive been talking to one of my mates who told me that using Tesco diesel is a really bad idea, apparently the quality of the fuel is really poor? Has anyone else heard this? I used to run my BMW on Shell v-power diesel, but that didnt run well on any standard diesel. Anyone got any experience or poin...

Re: Scirocco gone in for check up

I asked for an equivalent car to mine when it went in for Cruise to be fitted, and they gave me a brand new golf. Cant complain, but they had about three weeks notice to get it sorted.

Now fitted, £240 all in. Works a treat. I had a 1.6TDI 61 plate Golf Match as a loan car, and that had cruise as standard, yet a GT Scirocco its optional - abit backwards? :shrug:
