Re: Start Up Failure (turns on then off)
Are you depressing the clutch when you hit the start button? (Assuming it’s manual)

Re: Hello! New owner here- pic attached of my 2012 1.4
Very nice!
Quite rare to see a red one and I think it does suit the car really well.
Love the wheels - Audi I think?
Enjoy it.

Re: Just bought 2016 184 tdi r line
We have exactly the same model but a 2015. Love it - our second Scirocco (GT 140 before) but this one is far better. Looks better (vents in bumpers finish it off nicely at the rear), better spec and the 184 is so much quicker than the 140 diesel. Good economy too, even when gunning it abroad. Cheap ...

Re: Dark roof looks like glass
Nope. People often put vinyl wrap on the roof, I assume so it looks like the panoramic roof.

VW warranty extension
The factory warranty on my car will be expiring soon (March).
Does anyone know how long before warranty expires that VW write & offer you an extended warranty?
Thanks.

Re: Change from A4 to Scirocco....thoughts?
Evening all. So I travelled from Manchester to Glasgow yesterday to view the Scirocco. Had a great, long test drive and thoroughly impressed. Car was gleaming, interior spotless, and a full VW service history. The 19's were in excellent condition, with plenty of tread left on the Goodyears fitted t...

Re: Change from A4 to Scirocco....thoughts?
A bit of a late reply but it might still be useful. I have both an '09 Scirocco and an '09 A4 and although they share quite a lot, they feel different. The A4 is quieter, has a smoother ride, has a bigger boot and will seat four in greater comfort. Its steering is pretty much lifeless and there is ...

Re: Change from A4 to Scirocco....thoughts?
You'll be fine with a Scirocco as a motorway car. On my second now and every year we've taken them to Europe on autobahns all day with no worries at all and great fuel consumption even when gunning it! Current 184TDi is on 19" wheels and it's only harsh on really bad roads (no ACC on later ones...

Re: Boot/Luggage Net
Don't know if there is an official one but why not try a motorcycle cargo net? They have hooks on each corner so hook them onto the luggage hooks in the boot.
It might work for you (depending what you need to carry).

Re: Thinking of buying a Scirocco
Well I'd go for the diesel Scirocco because it's got more torque, performance difference is minimal, it'll be far better on fuel & road tax is cheap.
I'm on my second Roc TDI now & have been very happy with both (I do drive a TDI Passat for work so maybe I'm biased with diesels!)

Re: Cruise Control
I was told that when we bought our first Scirocco - a 2011. Bought it used (from a Jaguar dealer actually), went to a local VW dealer who said it couldn't be done. Had one fitted by a great company called Professional Retrofits - perfect job and using all VW parts. Never had an issue with warranty o...

Re: Is there going to be a Scirocco replacement?
184 TDI R Line is a great car.
It's quick enough, looks the part, well specced and is good on fuel & has cheap tax.
And it's a Scirocco!
Go & drive one.....

Re: Ordered New Scirocco R Line - Questions about Interior
I think Cuprabob is right - I remember reading the latest brochure the week before we got the car & seeing it had the Discover system then being disappointed that ours didn't have it. Discover is much better - (my Passat has it) - much better screen etc.

Re: Ordered New Scirocco R Line - Questions about Interior
Good choice! Mine's a 2015 but I don't think too much has changed. To answer your questions in order: 1) Yes I think so - that's what mine is. 2) SD card slot yes & plays music from SD card but whether the unit can play video I don't think so. 3) Very little! Just about has room to put an ipod i...

Re: Winter wheels 2014 Scirocco GT
I have the same car as you. My winter wheels are 17" and standards are 18".
No problems at all - you only need to reset the tyre pressure monitor as the rolling rotation is different.
Other than that, perfect swap.
