Scirocco Central

Nice Car!! Golf R MK VII is better looking though

My Rocco R came initially with Bridgestone tyres 235/35/19 and only discovered how noisy they were when I fitted new Michelin PS2 tyres later.

Hi, Just thought to share this with you guys. Few days ago my Rocco R failed to start at all. Instrument clusters showing all lights as normal. No cranking at all. Battery is OK replaced recently. Toed the car to the dealer as it is still under warranty. Few days later, they suspected a failure of t...

Currently the PSS. Replaced the Potenza originally on the car. Noise level significantly reduced. Grip wise improved as well. As I commute a lot my next change will be in few months. I'll come back to this thread for further advice or might go again for a set of PSS.

The R looks like it sits higher on the ground than the current model!!

Hi, I agree that the current Rocco R looks a bit outdated but still better looking than the A Class, that is me thinking. I am tempted to go for the MK7 R and I heard its coming to UAE in April. With the new shape Rocco still long way to come I am thinking of getting the MK7 R till the new Rocco R o...

Thanks Taylor127. The pads are standard which came with the car.

I guess may be I am too much fussy!!

Hello Every one,

I am just getting annoyed with how frequent I have to clean and brush the wheels to keep them clean, shiny and spotless. They keep gathering brake dust and soot and I am just wondering if this is common?

Eidooo,

I am still using the factory Bridgestone tyres (almost 23K on the clock). Not noisy at all.

James, should I change to Michelin once the change is due? When did you change yours?

Hi dstill,
I have an iPhone 4. It works fine on Bluetooth. Just annoying that I have to update contents (music, podcasts, etc) on both my iPod (to use with MDI) and iPhone instead of one ios device.

Hi Ashb,

I had the dealer inspects the issue during the first service, found nothing. I found the Bluetooth connection more sturdy than the MDI cable. I have given up on the MDI cable and iPhone. I am now using an old iPod touch which sits permanently in the car. This seems OK.

Hi guys, I have been with my Rocco R since January last. Lovely times. Keep me smiling all the time. No mods done. Warranty issues freaked me out!! I live in Al Ain, so if you fancy a go at Jabal Hafeet you are more than welcome ;) . Let me know if you decide to meet in Dubai in the future, I might ...

Hi, I am in the UAE and a proud owner of a Rocco R. I purchased it in Jan 2013 and intentionally I was going to use it to commute to work from Al Ain to Abu Dhabi and back daily ( 320 KM). It is great on the motorway and no issues at all. I recently started to alternate with my old car (luckily I di...

Hi James, I contacted the dealer in Al Ain and they advised me not to even think about mods as It will void the warranty :grumpy: apparently ABT the tuning firm in Abu Dhabi (Part of the dealers' after sale services) will warn you about the warranty if you want to undertake any tuning services. I am...

Hi James,

Impressive mods!! I'd love to do the same now knowing there is a company in UAE who can do that for you...However, warranty void is putting me off...I am really keen to know what is the final verdict and how is the Rocco doing now in this weather

Hi, I am not sure of any has experienced the same, but I find my link to iPhone (using MDI Cable) a bit erratic. It freezes some time, choosing of a podcast to play seems "pure luck!!" as it could play a podcast different to the one you have selected. The dealer hasn't a clue!! Any advice ...
