Re: Freezing Door Locks
Got the car back Tuesday, they have replaced the door lock on the drivers side under the warrenty. Said it was returning error codes. Will have to see how we go from here!

Re: Freezing Door Locks
No the glass drops fine and as you open and close it moves up and down, its just the lock mechanisum is not releasing. Assumption is that moisture is getting in the actual catch and freezing solid.

Freezing Door Locks
Has anyone else had problems with freezing door locks ? Only had a few days of frost and each day the doors will not open. The only thing that would open was the tail gate. This has happedned three times and even after gaining entry through the rear of the car the doors will not open from the inside...

Re: Daytime Running Lights
I cant see why they didnt make this a switchable option in the multi functional display if its not needed by law until 2011. It clearly pissing most people off because you look a prat driving round with lights on in the day. It also makes the auto senors light a complete waste of time because there ...

Re: 'Scirocco' like number plates
Just go to http://dvlaregistrations.direct.gov.uk/home/ and you can search for prefixes that will give you whats available that's close. Some better ones will be released in 2011but you cant reserve. I have notice prices going up recently though.

Re: GTI VS ROC
i have just swapped a MK5 Golf GTi for the ROC and the value for money between the Scirocco and the new MK6 is staggering and one of the reasons i switched. Plus if you look at the Mk6 what's changed from the MK5 ! When i picked my Scirocco up there was a Mk6 behind it and frankly i could hardly tel...

Re: Collected my Sumatra GT 2.0 Yesterday ***Pics Added***
Car does look great in Sumatra but would agree with the comments on the truffle leather, Not for me! A bit too in you face, think black would be better.

Re: Poor Colour Selection
I agree with what you guys are saying about the representation of the colours, i have a Pewter Grey Sirocco and it looks nothing like the brochure. Its a very personal thing but probably the single most important choice about the car once you have decided a Scirocco is for you ! I think even if they...

Re: Countdown to delivery
What do you call decent. I had a Golf Gti prior to getting the Scirocco and have just left Direct Line because they were too expensive, got a great deal with Admiral £300 fully comp

Re: Lead time
Hi I ordered mine on 6th March and it was delivered 22nd May so twelve weeks in total. I believe that lead time has gone up a bit if you order now. There have been a few posts about this with some people buying now but not expecting delivery until next year. When i picked mine up the dealer said the...

Re: Pewter Roc Arrived
Cheers guys Very pleased with the car and its turning heads as there are not many around in my neck of the woods at the moment (South Cumbria). My only complaints with VW is the penny pinching with no metal pedals, and sill trims as standard, or yes and the ridiculous lead time! I would have loved a...

Re: Collected my Sumatra GT 2.0 Yesterday ***Pics Added***
I deliberated about the colour as well but went for Pewter Grey in the end, just collected mine last Friday. Sumatra is something i would love to see in the flesh but not seen one as yet, pictures vary alot from what i have seen but would like to see in day light becuase i think it looks nice from w...

Re: Pewter Grey
I have just collected my Pewter Grey Scirocco on friday and i also deliberated over colour myself. I have just swapped from a Golf Gti in Steel Grey and that's a lot closer than the Gun Metal grey. I think it looks well and will try and post some pictures up when i get chance. I do agree with what h...

Re: Discounts on new Roc at VW
I think with the lead times associated with a Scirocco your unlikely to be able to haggle much. I ordered mine back in early March and still no delivery date but it was in production week 19 (last week) so i am told. I got around £500 off but poor trade in so am looking to sell my current Golf GTi (...

Re: Convenience Menu - Mirror Down
I hope it is on later cars, mine is due for build this week. I have this on my current golf and find it great for parking to avoid the scrubbing of the alloy wheels. I asked about this when i placed my order but got the typical dumb response from the salesman. Has anyone else who has got one recentl...

Re: What's your Build Date? (Estimated or Confirmed)
Hi all, my build week has been confirmed as 19 (this week). Does anyone know if it is likely to be delivered before end of may, i currently have an 07 Golf GTI that needs taxing at the end of the month. How come the lead times are going up and why are they so long in the first place, are VW just not...

Re: My Roc has been born
Hi mine is due for build production week 19 which i think is next week. Reading this forum makes it seam an even longer wait ! Cant believe the lead time on these things, mind you it sounds like its worth the wait.
