Re: Need a little help with sound system

I upgraded the sound system in my R and because i wanted to keep the stock head unit i bought an Audison Bit Ten.

Re: looking at buying a scirocco R - any advice accepted

the mk3 came out in 2009 and the R version 2010 iirc, i personally don't like the r-line model it has no real reason to be in the scirocco line up. A second hand R i would estimate you are looking around £15,000 - £25,000 depending on mileage, condition and options. If i was to buy again i would go ...

Re: Front A Pillar Trims

yes the trim is common. front left 1K8867233A front right 1K8867234A Add either CE6 for titanium black or 5T5 for pearl grey to end of the code. The trim colour depends on interior not model anyway. Thanks for the info. My local VW Dealer are quoting me £63 for a pair which i don't think is too bad...

Front A Pillar Trims

Hello, Does anyone know if the A Pillar Trims from a standard Scirocco/GT/GTS will fit the R Model?

Looking at pics they look the same... I'm not worried about them colour matching as i plan to re-cover them.

Any help would be great, cheers.

Re: Worth the upgrade to a DSG?

Sorry I've been a bit quiet... The DSG definitely has its plus points and I'm sure I would get along with it fine. Might go have to pay the dealer a visit and see what deal i can get.

Re: Worth the upgrade to a DSG?

I have driven both and to be honest i like both but I'm swaying more towards the DSG just for the ease of driving. I only have 1 year left on my R before i own it so not sure if i should take the hit with the DSG with the new R coming out late 2014.

Worth the upgrade to a DSG?

Hello, I'm currently driving a Manual R but the opportunity has arisen for me to possibly part ex my Manual and get a DSG, I'm just wondering if it will be worth the extra money.

Would love to know your opinions :)

Re: 2010 RCD510 Premium 8 bluetooth install?

Hello, I'm also in the same boat as you, i have been looking at the kits on eBay but a little confused as to the part numbers. Some seem to end in B or E and not too sure of the difference. Let us know if you have any luck.
