Scirocco Central

Yeah Chrome will rust as it erodes with rain. My home Door Handles have only lasted 12yrs and need replacing... with more Chrome hehe!

My SCIROCCO R is the 027 60AH 540A (might be wrong one for a 2010 Model?) . It really suffers if used for short journeys, left for 1 month in Winter and trying to start during Winter below 4 degrees. Although during this time I found a faulty AIR QUALITY SENSOR, my ALARM horn ir either OFF by VCDS ...

I can't find the AIR FILTER Part 06F 133 835K . Is the compatible one 06F 133 843B OK for a 2010 R? I bought the BUFFERS at £37 for a 4 pack. The Chinese ones are half price but have a flash seam and different design. I found the POLLEN FILTER Part also hard to find as the only one listing Part 1K2 ...

A Genuine VW Activated Carbon Charcoal Cabin Filter is only ~ £10 to £15 which you fit yourself easily.

I was just told today by LOOKERS Dealer that VW have now revoked on their 5yrs Interval Time and is by 60,000 Miles ONLY. I am at 75,000 and had it done at 60k so my next is at 120k. Has anyone else been told this by their Dealer OR seen by VW in any new update? *THIS WAS A CHANGE LAST YEAR 2023 Ano...

Hi all Rocco owners... I'm back after over 10yrs without any concerns with my 2010 R bought in 2013. For 4yrs now I have had issues relating to EPC Light coming on with a steady slow draining Battery. Having solved 1 issue with a failed diaphragm on the 1st PCV (it whistled after shutdowns so you kn...

...and faster in the Winter as in Summer the turbo has reduced power.

It needs new plugs at 40k or after 3years - an update in the manual supplement. Some VW garages did not pick up on the Supplement due to old Computer Stock/Parts software. Get it done and save £80 plus labour! Check the AirCon has been re-gassed as can cost about £30. 1yr warranty, it must be from a...

Shocking - I'd take a big stick out on them! It does make you wonder about the free SIM and buying off any non legit dealer. I'd prefer to buy over the counter so my address is private and avoid ebay. Even then, I'd buy my own SIM elsewhere. Young kids stealing? It sounds more like they were the mul...

Nice work for 10hours worth. Today I seen an older lady driving a £200k Noble in my town taking it easy over the sleeping-policemen. You don't see that often up north huh! That's one fast older woman :eek: Whilst a sexy younger model in the local VW parts dept. is eagerly waiting her 2l Rocco TDI ne...

Probable I'd say. I like the new E-Golf's LED front bumper and thought they'd add the LED on this but rather have a 30mpg average petrol than 80miles range electric with 30mins charge for 80% or even 4hours for 100% re-charging! Obviously not ready for allowing them past 115bhp else they couldn't se...

Any ideas on what the rear black grills are...functional or just looks?

A service supplement for the R says only if its done 40k miles after 4yrs. Then at 60k needs a change. The full inspection service is at 40k miles NOT for a 4yr interval. Mine is 3yrs old at 40k so they didn't change at the Full Inspection Service and I did query this. I believe they twisted this t...

"Facelift"? More like it's aged and has a saggy front like a catfish! Love the rear lights and tailgate badge opening - hope they solved the possibility of locking your keys in the boot then? I don't mind the dash but what the hell are those dials doing plonked on top in the centre - I do ...

It can take you by surprize when you try the different modes. Kick-down in Auto is different to Paddle Down 2 and flooring (if not floor it begs for it). It does auto shifting in Paddle Mode too if left late but stays in Paddle mode too. Paddle is more responsive and much like Sport Mode except Spor...

After a test drive I chose to stay with the Roc!

(that wasn't me LOL!) Is the M Sport anything to do with Malcolm Wilson's M-Sport rally company up the road from me?

No it's still on tour - The only one in USA hehe
[youtube][/youtube]

haha the American 2 reviews are of the exact same car (matching reg).
It's probably on its way back to Europe

Lol,all I hear is "I want one" but VW won't give them it. These kids still have fun by going over time and don't give a damn about features as there is no more time other than the joy ride hehe. They know they'll never get it as it's the price over there over practicality. Another American...

I just had to post this as it's quite simply the most fun (& longest) review I have ever seen!
Some yanks want to be different..just like us across the continent but somehow VW in California doesn't look right.
