Re: Automatic Windows&mirros Close on Lock

You can say to me what precisely to ask in my salesman, why me it interests? He exists certain code? I'm not completely sure what your question is, but if your intention is to make the coding yourself, I can't help you. I just asked the dealer if it was possible to recode the mirror controls to aut...

Re: Automatic Windows&mirros Close on Lock

When I bought my roc, I was told by the dealer that they could change the settings for me so the mirrors would fold automatically when the car was locked (for a 120€ fee), but I actually decided against it, the reason being that often I sincerely don't want the mirrors to fold in. For instance fewer...

Re: New ESP system

The real issue with not being able to disable ESP fully is, that on tracks the rear brakes heat up after 20-30 corners and you'll have to pit not to loose your brakes entirely. That's not only annoying but also sort of dangerous :-). Just this week I was attending an event driving 40 laps in Formula...

Re: Scirocco Van - updated after Spa-Ring pictures

It is absolutely wonderful looking at the track. I took my rocco to Sicily this summer, and had I had time for it, I would definitely had gone to Nürbergring. After seeing yours there, I'm kicking myself for not going there. On the autobahn I took it to the top. The needle turned 250, but my handhel...

Re: Something a little different - Scirocco Van

wigit, I've just put all the pics I've got of my roc here: http://www.itu.dk/people/janum/sciroccoweb/index.html One shot is worse than the other, but there are few at the end of the boot opening. If you are serious about wanting to see more pics of the boot, I'll take some when I get a chance.... r...

Re: You've seen it all, but here's another one

I get some rattling from the floor lid too, but only on severe bumps. I'm not sure it's enough for me to try to fix it. Perhaps it helps me a bit that I'm mostly driving in Comfort mode. It actually does soften it up quit a bit. Besides, it honestly bothers me more than expected not having the rear ...

Re: You've seen it all, but here's another one

in Denmark it is: 1,4 normal - 368.900 DKK - 43.350 GBP 2,0 normal - 398.900 DKK - 46.768 GBP 1,4 Van - 236.000 DKK - 27.670 GBP 2,0 Van - 262.000 DKK - 30.700 GBP Sad, but true..... ...and the worst thing actually is, that the same tax is on options. 180 % on non-van and 50 % on van. I hope to be ...

You've seen it all, but here's another one

Picked up my new candy white roc today and I'm loving it. Unfortunately I had to go to work right after picking it up. Colleagues were excited and several times I was dragged to the parking lot to tell about the car. Looking out the window to the parking lot, I several times noticed people gathering...

These ain't luganos?!? Sorry guys if I'm mistaken but I'm 99% sure they are Luganos and they're definitely not Interlagos, or are you talking about the white scirocco above? Having just had Luganos and Interlagos Alloys compared IRL at my dealers, I'm positive gusci's are Luganos and FrederikBonde'...

Re: Something a little different - Scirocco Van

How long did you guys from Denmark had to wait for the car? I talked to the dealer this sunday, and he told me that the next build week for Denmark is 38 (!), so if I ordered one now, i could have it by Christmas :-(( Whats your experience? I ordered mine in week 14 and I get it this week, so 8 wee...

Re: Something a little different - Scirocco Van

And today my roc arrived at my dealership. I of course went by to check up on it. To my great relieve it has cruise control ...and it was all wrapped up in plastic. Even with all the wrapping inside and out it looked fantastic. Picking it up on Friday and will of course open my own thread during the...

Re: Something a little different - Scirocco Van

Do the metal pedals come as standard in Denmark? They're about a £100 extra in the UK. They come with a sports package which to some extend resembles the UK GT model. Thanks for the reassurance, pafa :yummy: ....I'll try not to think to much about the cruise control over the weekend, as it is alrea...

Re: Something a little different - Scirocco Van

Picked this up last Friday and loving every second driving it. New car prices here in Denmark are about 80-90% higher than in the UK (about £37k for a 1.4 160BHP), however legislation allows vehicles with extra carrying capacity to receive large tax breaks, hence the fairly unique Scirocco van. The...

Re: Time between order and being told build week

I ordered mine 11th feb and got estimated bw 22. As the week was getting close i went to ask my dealer last week whether they've got confirmation yet. Well they haven't. They said they get it only two weeks earlier before it'll be built, here in Finland. I would not stay up nights waiting :D If you...

Re: Time between order and being told build week

It does sound strange. Though the dealer can actually order a car without suggesting a build week at time of order, they most often try to book a build week or production slot for assembly. Even if your dealer didn't do this, at time of factory acceptance of the order, a build week is scheduled. Due...

Re: 2010 model changes

maybe thats how it works in the UK, but not here. the only way you can avoid the price increse is if you recieve the car before the price goes up. and since the price will go up this month, theres no way you can avoid it. Well this is a UK site .co.uk, so dont imply what happens in your country is ...

Re: Current Lead Times

In week 21 or 22 they change the production line to facilitate the 2010 model. Perhaps they are having troubles with that and need to shut down production longer than expected, in which case all slots are pushed. I don't know.....but at least a couple of weeks after you place your order for a VW, VW...

Re: Current Lead Times

When I placed the order for my roc at April 1st, I was told it would go in production in week 39. When I told the dealer, this was unacceptable to me and that I would then buy another car, he asked me to give him 2 minutes and he then left. After 20 minutes he came back and told me, that he could of...
