Scirocco Central

Well I got pissed at the Rocco and drove it to the dealership. It seems that "Check front left turn signal" means cornering lights and "Check front left turn signal!" means the turn signal. So it seems that it was all about the German to English translation being incorrect. Anywa...

Yes. Those are the factory led ones, all leds were working. Unreplaceable says the manual.

Hello I got a weird problem with my Scirocco: The "bulb failure"-light turned on my dash and the car says " Check front left turn signal ". Well it is working just fine and if I remove the bulb I get 2nd warning " Check front left turn signal! ". So exactly like the fir...

Update: I changed the bulb to a new one. But the error message remains. So it indeed seems that there is something wrong with the electronics.

So the "bulb failure"-light turned on my dash and the car says "Check front left turn signal". Well it is working just fine and if I remove the bulb I get 2nd warning "Check front left turn signal!". So exactly like the first warning, but now with an exclamation mark. W...

Stock wheels on the Scirocco are not ET51 but ET41. The Golf is ET51 Typoed the stock ET in the post, it was correct in the picture. Fixed it. With what you propose the wheels will sit too far in and probably foul on the strut. Yes, that is what I am afraid. That's why I am asking if someone knows.

*Thread hijack* Hey. I am thinking about buying new winter rims. But I have an option to buy AMG wheels for summer set and use my Interlagos-set as a winter set. But the new set would be 8.5x18" ET52 front and 9x18" ET52 rear. Can someone verify if these will fit or not? I know they will b...

Most of those articles are 2 years old. There's been a recall since then. Nods. My car is 2 years old was never recalled nor was there a recall for it. Were other countries cars recalled? This might be the main concern about the Finnish 2009-2012 1.4 TSI DSG's. They weren't recalled. Which is reall...

Do you not think the motoring press would be all over it if it was that bad? I am seriously surprised that no-one has heard of this before. It is really big problem here in North. Maybe climate has something to do with it? http://www.autolatest.ro/auto-editorial/problems-with-the-timing-chain-of-th...

If 31% of those DSG boxes were failing we'd all know about it, publicly.VW would have a PR disaster on their hands. There is a disaster brewing. The Finnish VAG-users are really baffled why VW has not said anything about it. You gotta remember that it's 31% out of those who have voted on the forums...

It is in Finnish, but: http://www.vagarena.fi/index.php?topic=6771.0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Those kind of expenses are extremely rare from what I can see. If it's all done under warranty you'll be good to carry on. There is a poll on Finnish VAG-forum about the DSG-faults, currently 31% users report that their DSG has failed (need of repair and spare parts). And out of those 78% say it wa...

Yes it will be fixed under warranty. But I might be facing another 7500EUR overhaul in the next 37k miles and that would be without warranty. As far as I know (and the forums?) they will not use any improved parts to fix my Scirocco, they just change the faulty stuff with the same parts?

Hello everyone. What do you guys think? Should I get rid of my Scirocco (160PS) or not? It's 2011, it has 37000 miles on the clock. DSG was overhauled 2 weeks ago and now timing chain started to rattle few days ago and engine does not run smoothly when standing in lights. It had quick session with V...
