Scirocco Central

Well....... Car has been in the garage yesterday and has been fixed - fault was found to be a leak of DSG fluid from the filter housing in the end that had dripped down onto the driveshaft. A strip down and inspection of the housing and a replacement filter + seal later and all is good. Road tested ...

They'll be no such luck for me, 2009 plate so no warranty left!

I'd be very interested to know if I remap could affect this part and gave caused it because if so its coming off!! Haha

And how much has that set you back?!

Hi guys, Noticed a patch of oil on the driveway yesterday so took my roc down to a local garage to be checked out. Up it went on the ramp and I was called in by the mechanic who showed me underneath. There was a mess of DSG fluid that had leaked all over the passenger side driveshaft. He said it wil...

I've always polished it religiously every couple of months........but this full job is in a whole different league. Get it done!

Oh.....and plus - all cleaning products are 3 for 2 at the mo at Halfords

This is the stuff I use for the tyres - it's like a clear silicone stuff that you paint on with a brush. I've used lots and lots of different tyre dressings but this is by far the best and lasts the longest. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tyre-Sheen-Superior-Professional-valeters/dp/B007G8C1Q0/ref=sr_1_6?i...

Just spent the best part of 2 days doing the following: Wash and chamois bodywork Cleaned alloy wheels inside and out Blackened tyres Clay barred the bodywork Polished bodywork with Autoglym Super Resin polish Finished the bodywork off with Autoglym Extra Gloss protection The finished article is ama...

Woke up this morning to find the roc covered in red sandy dust!

Checked it out and found it is sand from the Sahara desert brought across by the winds?! How strange.

Everyone else in the same boat? I've resisted the urge to wash it as there is more on the way.......

I've got the 2.0 TSI and LOVE it! Very fast and if driving sensibly you can easily get 35 mpg out of it.

I'm 25 and my insurance was £750 - worth every penny!

same here! always leave mine on......there's just something about nice refreshing dry air!

To be fair, you could also describe it as a clicking.....it's a bizarre noise

Does yours do this too or do I have a problem on my hands?

Hi,

Can anyone shed any light on a fairly quiet rattling noise that goes on for a few seconds whenever I switch the car on? It seems to be coming from behind the glove box sort of area and it's really starting to bug me!!

Cheers

mine very rarely leaves auto too! unless it's the early hours of the morning on a nice quiet road ;-) .....

Cheers Lee! Good to know.

Wouldn't normally have chosen KwikFit but know the manager there and got mates rates ;-)

I wasn't actually expecting any improvements but it is noticeably smoother on the road which is quite impressive.

There was a slight mis-align on the steering wheel which has also been sorted out so it's win win!

Taken the plunge and had a full hunter alignment done.....

Results are here - thoughts please

Thanks guys, great replies

Thanks!

Apparently the reading was "just outside the tolerance" and was the only red button. All the rest were green

Needless to say I didn't have it done, but may consider if worthwhile!
