Scirocco Central

Not sure you will want to know, if you read further down the threads ive also had a problem like this within the last month. My roc now has a brand new engine..!

I honestly believe buying any car is a gamble! I would personally recommend the 1.4 160. In love with mine.

Not forgetting this only happens on such a small number of rocs. Its easy to find loads of problems on the internet since everyone will complain about it however not many will just comment on how well they run if that makes sence

160 is great, petrols ok aswell if you drive carefuly, goodluck with that tho. 59 plate 25k miles. Vw paying 100% for engine and most of the labour. I have to pay about £300 and i get 2yr warrenty. I wasnt happy this happened but cant complain really.

I have. 1.4 160 and in the process of having my engine replaced. I wouldnt let this put you off. It only happens to a small number and from my research this is only a common problem in the older models. 160 version is fun, i have this due to my young age/ insurance reasons but greatly recommend!

Just to sum up. New engine is needed. Vw is covering most costs. I just have to pay some of the labour costs.

I have no idea, however im guessing if your dashboard light lights up to say its on id say its more of a major issue however if it doesnt im guessing its an electrical problem between your control and the system??

I had this issue with my golf mk5

What they do is unprogramme the other key from your car so that it wouldnt work at all. And a new one programmed in cost me £260 at my vw dealer.

Im not sure whether it actually makes a different however i find when in sports these suggestions seem to make more sence

So after being told the value would sort everything, i turned up, payed and drove for about 5mins before my warning lights went wild and had no power, got back to the garage and they will now fix the problem. Not totally sure why they ignored it in the first place but now rebuilding my engine. Great...

Well after a vw tech saying the computer said i had a problem with my cylinder, my local dealer has now told me the problem is with a turbo cut off value?? £160 to fix. I dont know anything about engines but personally i dont see this fixing the problem? Surely this wouldnt make the car shake unlike...

I will do that when they get back to me since i think its shocking for this price of car with only 25k miles.

In brief what is the common problem? Jst so i know what to expect.

Well that sounds interesting..!

Its currently in with my local dealer now however its already £80 just so they cud plug the laptop in and tell me what i already knew! I know they will end up with a decent size bill so just wondered where i stood

I have a cylinder fault on one of my cylinders, 1.4 160 engine. Car is 59 plate so now out of warrenty however only done 5k miles from last service (From vw). what do you guys think? someone has told me to contact vw direct since the car only has 25k mile total and its stupid. what do you reckon bes...
