Scirocco Central

Never mind, worse things happen at sea, I suppose! Just vandalism, I think. It might sound stupid but I almost wish they had stolen something. I'd at least be able to understand it if they had. My first ever insurance claim, too.

I woke up this morning to find this... definitely my worst Scirocco moment. Even worse than spending 10 hours on a VW Assist pick-up truck!

Hi Sam, I was pleasantly surprised with my insurance. I was 22 when I took it out and have three years no claims, no convictions etc... I used Tesco compare and found Virgin at £600 - then I phoned my insurer (Admiral) who beat it at £570. I do have a £250+250 excess though. Would be interested to k...

22 on delivery.

Like Bagwafu, I am also pleased with my dealer - Carrs at Indian Queens. Even though my faults have been dealt with by two separate garages (I work at the other end of the country), the guys at Carrs are much better to deal with.

VW Assist (RAC) did a very good job today. After my initial two hour wait, the 'roc was quickly diagnosed as undrivable as one of the two throttle valves was not reporting it's position to the ECU due to a break/bad section in one of the wires in the loom. He took me to a service station to pick up ...

Driving fine last night and this morning. I started my journey south. EPC light appears whilst driving in outside lane of M6, power drains and I safely and thankfully manage to pull over. It's one thing for this to happen on my usual slow crawl to work, but to happen at speed is quite harrowing. VW ...

My Scirocco came back from The Verve on 18th December, all faults clear and car driving normally - this evening however, the EPC light made a re-appearance, lasting for two journeys before clearing. I have tried speaking to VW Customer Services, but they only seem to act as a middle-man between me a...

Picked up the car from the garage on Tuesday, it had been fitted out with a new accelerator pedal unit. Sadly will be returning for a third time this week as the EPC light is back on. Anyone else struggling with the EPC of Death?! Rich

Thanks Bagwafu, I'm in Fraddon, near the McDonald's & infamous hamburger hill on the A30. Bought the Scirocco from Carrs, Indian Queens. They've been top notch from the day I strolled into the showroom off the street in scruffy jeans and a t-shirt and asking for a test drive, to keeping me up to...

Hello all - this is my first post, and is probably not as concise at it could be! I picked up my Rising Blue Scirocco in mid-October and I must admit, I think I am in love with it, despite it's problems. On day two it had to be returned to the garage because of "Traction Control Failure" &...
