Re: Removing front grilles?

Thanks for the help!
Popped out with a firm pull. Have now refitted it properly (one of the lugs wasn't engaging) and all is well!

Removing front grilles?

Hi,

Has anyone ever removed one of the front side grilles from a 'Roc R?
I would like to remove and refit the nearside one as it's already a bit loose on one side. Do they just clip in? Don't just want to to yank it out - It seems pretty fixed in!

Thanks,
Justin.

Re: Head Gasket Failure @ 21k

Hopefully the dealer will be able to help when we get it there on Monday. I would also anticipate some support from VW given the cars low mileage and relatively low age/proximity to warranty period.

Re: Head Gasket Failure @ 21k

It was "diagnosed" at the side of the road where I stopped it. I guess the combination of large clouds of white smoke, bubbles in the expansion tank and the coolant level decreasing as we watched the car idle made the head gasket the prime suspect. It does do short journeys in the week but...

Head Gasket Failure @ 21k

Hi, Car has done 21k and was three on the 15th March! I am pretty sure that the head gasket has failed on the 'Roc. Got in it earlier and it wouldn't start - it wouldn't turn over and the MFD displayed something like "EPC Fault" momentarily. I turned the key again and the car started, but ...

Condensation issues

Hi all, We have a 2010 R and have noticed now that the temperatures are dropping that there is an awful lot of condensation inside on a damp morning when you first get it - much more so than on either of our other cars. Certainly in my Skoda Superb I can get in, set to demist and just drive off stra...

Re: MY2013 Nightblue Scirocco

Agree on the lovely colour - nice photos too!
Could you post a pic of the rear where the seats would be please? Is it a dealer option? Do you have a bulkhead of some sort between the luggage compartment and the cabin?

Justin.
