Scirocco Central

Yeah, it's purely under acceleration. Seems to get worse the more miles I do. It's odd, very odd. It does sound like arcing on that audio clip but it's more of a regular creaking noise, not tappety. Hard to describe. I did do a search yeah, but couldn't find anything other than one thread that sound...

Right click the file and download it, then play it. No, it's not pinking. It sounds so much worse. lol

Hi all, All of a sudden my 2.0ltr GT (TSI) has started making a horrible rattling from about 3k to 4k rpm! I've uploaded an audio track from my iPhone. It isn't great, it almost sounds electrical but it isn't. It only appears when the engine is under load, if the car is stood still and the throttle ...

My local VW dealer had the car yesterday. They didn't report anything of any concern, but did say they need to update the DSG software as there were two updates for my car. So, I have the car back and all seems well. However, I have noticed it does feel slightly different which may of course just be...

Just remembered I never got the sticker info! Anyway, I've booked the car in on Monday so should hopefully find out what the issue is by mid week.

This could be the linkage on the gearbox, my has a fault when you go from Park to reverse it never works, I need to go to drive then reverse... Mines going into dealer next week under warranty. Keep us updated Thanks Could be something as simple as that, lets see what the dealer says once they've h...

How old is the Scirocco? Red or White MFD display? How long after initial cold start of the engine? Any little white stickers on the metal boot floor under the the carpet (left side of the spare wheel well), like this ..... White Sticker example . What is written on it/them as per the blue ink (24s...

It's happened again today, this time on the downshift. Looks like I better make that phone call.

Thank you for taking the time. Looks like it's something similar. Hopefully a software update will resolve it. I'll get it booked in, which I was going to do in any case, but it's worth knowing before hand if it's a well known fault etc.

...whilst pulling out of a junction in manual mode, into 2nd, 3rd then when I changed into 4th I got no drive. It was like it was in neutral!. Down shifted back to 3rd and the gearbox took over again, back into 4th and everything fine. Problem looming do you think or perhaps a software update? It's ...

Don't forget the Nav information shows up in the DIS also. I doubt it could be placed any easier to see...

£1050 + VAT Ouch!

For anyone who is or may be interested. Retro fitting of the Genuine VW Satalite Navigation took place yesterday. The company, turned up when they said they would, in fact the fitter was stood by my car waiting for me to let him have access which surprised me as our office carpark is quite difficult...

Had mine for a couple of weeks now. Now that the novelty has worn off albeit I'm still learning is nuances, I think it's fair to say it is a great system, smooth and quick changes make it fairly rewarding for eating up the tarmac and you do certainly feel like you've hit a ton quicker than you would...

Thank Cirkz

I've booked them in for fitting on Monday, so I'll let you all know how it goes. Seemed like a pretty professional outfit. Lets hope it all goes to plan. Apparently the Unit is Official VW kit which is running at revision J.

Just wondering if anyone has used either of the following companies to retro-fit sat nav. Both seemed to know their stuff when I spoke to them but thought I'd ask for any good or bad dealings with either them. 1. http://www.richtersport.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ...

lol, shows how much I know then, but I have to say I'm amazed if what you say is true. I'm not doubting you by any stretch of the imagination so it will be interesting to see how my local VW bodyshop deals with my queries. :) Oh, first mod today also, if you can call it a mod that is, is an OEM flex...

Well I've had it a week now. Okay, DSG isn't that bad to be fair although I'm not taken with it just yet. What's that Sport mode all about anyhow? The car looks great and I have to say its one of the better VW interiors IMO. Things that are annoying me at the moment, which I never noticed at the tim...

I'm usually an early adopter of new technology but DSG escaped me. The traditionalist in me stuck with manual. Anyway, how bad can it be. Reviews are generally pretty good so I'll give it a go.

Some encouraging comments there. Think I'm going to do it. So, Saturday is the day if all things work out as planned. 400 mile round trip to get it though. Motorway there, back roads back.
