Scirocco Central

After owning a Scirocco R for the last 6 years I've just traded it in for a BMW M2 competition. Anyone thinking of buying an R should go for it. The car never let me down and was always a pleasure to drive. Thanks for all the advice and help I've received whilst being a member. There's a wealth of i...

Nice!

I want pics and a review lol

Yes, would also like to hear your thoughts on the M2. When I decide to change, the M2 is definitely on the list

My R came through its MOT today at an independent garage. They mentioned rust on the rear sub-frame and quoted approx £100 to remove the rust and seal it. Just wondering how much a VW dealership would charge for this? I've got my service in a couple of months and could get it done at the same time. ...

Just had a major service on mine. £51 per spark plug??!!!

I recently had 4 new tyres. Having read a lot of posts on here the two most popular tyres seem to be the Michelin Pilot Supersport or the Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 2. I went with the Michelins. They're quieter on the road than the Bridgestones and seem to absorb the bumps better. Although the tyr...

If the discs are warped is this something covered under warranty? The car is 3 years old on 1st April

Mr car is having its first MOT next Saturday. I've recently noticed vibration coming through the steering wheel under braking around 50MPH. I presume the MOT will pick this up? Would it cause it to fail the MOT? There's some scoring on the rear discs but the pads seems ok. The car has done 22500 mil...

There's some front bumpers on ebay.;
Also read another post on here. A member suggested this website for parts. Looks pretty comprehensive: http://www.partsbase.org/vw/scirocco-sci-eu-2012/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Bought 4 Michelin pilot super sports today. Being fitted next week £182 each, so £728 total OUCH!!!

Voted. Good luck!

Got my car serviced today. I used the online booking service but when I got there they had no record of it. Luckily they could fit it in. They also have to fit a new water pump as there has been a recall on them which I was unaware of. Unfortunately they don't have the part in stock so they're keepi...

My local VW dealer charges for a courtesy car. Is this the same at other dealers? It's £12.50 for insurance and doesn't include fuel. My 12 plate is due a service in 3 weeks. As it's 2 years old the online booking service recommends new brake fluid and an aircon service. Just wondering if this is ne...

Hi, I have found a website that sells the carbon tips. Do you know if these would fit the standard exhaust system? http://www.jdl-brakes.com/akrapovic-tail-pipe-set-carbon-tp-cs-1.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Thanks Even if they did , would you really spend £537 + s...

The alloys are 18's. You can see it on the tyre wall, R18

I have a Scirocco R with the standard cloth interior. I have found some leather electric seats for sale in Germany. How easy is it to fit these? I understand the wiring loom is under the seats. Would the wiring loom have connectors for the electric seats and would they simply plug in? I'm pretty muc...

There is currently a space saver for sale on e-bay. 4 days left of the auction.

I've found the DSG box to be superb. It is super smooth. I believe the first clutch does gears 1,3 an 5 with the second clutch 2,4 and 6. Whilst in gear I don't think the clutch is engaged. Therefore it has the gear above and below already pre-selected. There is no delay in up or down shifting that ...
