Re: Broken wing mirror.

Thank you for the response. I hope it's that cheap! I was glad the actual black painted cover was left by the car and not smashed up! Is the assembly difficult if you know by any chance?

Broken wing mirror.

So after a week I go to drive my car and the passenger side wing mirror is hanging off! Upon inspection the painted cap was undamaged and put by a tree next to the car. The indicator lens is also not broken and is fully working. What IS broken is that a bit of the edge of the plastic housing (on the...

Engine management light flashing?

Hi guys, I was driving home this morning in my MY2010 1.4 TSI 160 DSG roc, calmly and without putting the foot down. I noticed on 2 occasions after accelerating up to 4th gear or so if I let off the gas to slow down then accelerate again as the car is still in 3rd/4th it would have a slight judder t...

Re: Sidelights

Lolol I just like discovering new things I never knew the car had that's all! And I didn't get the fog lights so was a bit miffed but the sidelights complete the look when driving in the dark without looking like a fool with fogs on!

Re: wing mirror loose?

Well this morning my dad popped the car into the local VW garage (literally a 10 minute walk away) and called the garage we purchased it from and they suggested they could foot the bill for the loose wing mirror. So this local VW garage said it was £70 to diagnose the problem (a joke price and I wou...

Re: Northampton VW

Wow just called them up and a very helpful lady just looked up the history for 24s4 and turns out it was applied to the car in November, 2 months after sale so very early into its lifespan. Very happy with that!

Re: Northampton VW

I will check the door pillar when I get home. Anybody in the South London area willing to help? By the way before collection I called the dealer and asked about the ECU updates and he did tell me "all recalls will have been done" and the fact that it has had about 6 services in 2.5 years t...

Re: Northampton VW

Hello RR1, That's the thing that sticker is not in the metal floor where the spare wheel is. There is only 1 sticker and that is for the cars model and extras codes. And seen as it has been serviced so frequently I don't understand how it could have been missed as apparently the dealer gets a warnin...

Northampton VW

Hello all, Was looking through the VW website and noticed that the garage I got my car from was a approved VW garage. However they don't have the DasWelt Auto scheme going? This has me curious. The car I got has had one mature (50+ year old) owner and the service book has a VW stamped service approx...

Re: banging

Hello all, Yesterday after collecting my car I started her up, (it was a wet surface due to earlier rain) and left the parking spot. I stepped down for a quick blast of power but instead of the front wheels spinning the front end (suspension or wheels I'm not too sure) made a sort of "bang, ban...

Re: wing mirror loose?

Just called up my local VW to ask about the wing mirror. They said I needed to pay for labour for removing the door card. Is this how it works since I collected my car yesterday from a VW dealer (albeit not the same one as I had to drive 2 hours to goto buy my car) and how much should I expect to be...

Re: wing mirror loose?

I have the white display but no steering wheel buttons. I've been told only vag com can do it as I can only control my white screen using wiper stalk.

Re: wing mirror loose?

Another quick question. Do you know how much a dealer would charge to fit chrome tail pipe tips I already purchased and will a dealer be able to do some vag com changes for me? I want both doors to unlock at the same time and doors to unlock when key is removed from ignition.

wing mirror loose?

Hello all, Just collected my Scirocco today! Amazing car! However upon arriving home I went to fold the wing mirror in and it felt a bit loose (had about half a centimeter of play) whereas the other one was on firmly. I take it this may have developed over time as it is a 2 year old car where the pr...
