Scirocco Central

I'm getting about 35mpg, around 330miles before the light comes on. Only takes about 46 litres when the light first comes on so still lots in the tank. I have had the trip average up to 45mpg, when sitting in traffic at around 50mph though.

The guy i was dealing with is not in til monday and have to speak to him apparently. Will call on monday and see what i can do.

They also said that VW will not pay for a replacement wiper. danbailey77, iambu and risingblue1 - do you have the windscreen smear? I think we need to apply some pressure on Wayside! Well, i haven't got a smear so will not need to get replacement wipers although they are a bit crap. I have however ...

Got my DRLs turned off by the dealer today. Didn't take long. They said that they will compulsary on all cars from 2010 and from now all VWs will have them. If the buyer wants to turn themoff they will do it on anything registered before 2010. Now the auto lights make sense!

From waht i remember it was their car of the year and one of the reason's i was confident in buying the roc without ever driving one or a golf gti.

I don't remember seeing it as a desctption so maybe its standard on the car. The audi A3 only had a black roof lining in S-Line spec. Is that what you are thinking?

The boot release you have to hold down for a few seconds rather than a quick press. Hope that works....

I'll have to keep an eye out for you as i'm in St Albans too. Looks great on the pictures. The VW site was the same with Rising Blue, looked awful on there but love it in the flesh.

Bad luck on the fine. Think S-A sands for semi automatic. Makes sense for the DSG box.

Was on the M25 today as every morning and some guy pulled out his camera phone to take a picture whilst we were queuing. Never hada car that could do that!

Andy, can you recommend a glass polish? Always had this problem on lots of cars, my scirocco is quite good at the moment though. As for other niggles i need to get back to the dealer to sort out my misfiring headlight washers and stereo noise, will do this tomorrow hopefully. Anyone know if you can ...

E reg 1.1 Fiat Uno - 1994 to 1995 F Reg Citroen BX 1.4 - 1995 to 1996 - absolutely rubbish and 2ng gear broke. Sold it to a mate who wrote it off within a month F Reg Peugeot 205 XS - 1996 to 1998 - great little car and nearly as quick as the 1.6 Gti L Reg Clio 16valve - 1998 to 2000 - looked like t...

So, has anyone had the DRLs turned off? Is it difficult?

Just think its odd that they are always on, but if you go to sidelights they turn off and just a small bulb in the bumper comes on?

And whats the point of autolights?

Thanks, Dan

Hi,

I have the RNS 510 with dynaudio and get a funny noise when sloing down through 50mph.
As the spped drops a get a popping type sound. Guess its something to do with the speed volume setting. This is now at 0 and still get the pop.

Anyone else found this?

Thanks,
Dan

My thought would be that they do an r version with the 270ish bhp as in the TTS and would be 4wd.

I'm just using a 4gb sd card in a usb reader - a sandisk one.

It remembers whihc song it was on and when you press selection it goes to the same folder where the current song is.

I'll be copying to the internal hdd as i have the sat nav but am sure a usb powered drive should do the same.

Hi, I've noticed that a flash drice containing Mp3s sounds better than through the ipod. Reckon it uses the ipod amp and so ends up sounding very trebly with not much mid. I'm going to copy mp3s to the hard drive but if you don't have one then i would recommend getting a portable drive to connect ra...

Hi,

Picked my car up on thursday and absolutely love it. Even better than i had hoped.

I got the winter pack which includes the headlamp washers and the one on the drivers side sprays on the side of the car and up the bonnet.

Anyone else noticed this or know how to adjust them?

Thanks,
Dan

Just picked mine up this afternoon and already so happy. Not the best first day as its really damp and spitting here in herts. Can't wait to put my foot down after its run in a bit as it just feels like it wants to rev. Not had any problems with the wipers rattling yet, wel not noticed anyway, bt ha...

I pick mine up next Thursday - this week is going to ferl so long. Especially as i know its at the dealer waitng for me.
