I was looking at that myself and I reckon the plastic sheet that protects it from the factory was never removed? Looks like that to me anyway.

Re: 2008 2.0 TSI Timing Belt/Chain & Remap?

It's chain driven. He's probably asking to cover themselves from liability if it's put on a rolling road and a belt were to snap having not been replaced...

Re: The Photography Topic

Having been forced to quit bike racing due to lack of funds and illness I bought a Fuji hs10, couldn't afford full DSLr but still get decent results with the bridge camera, and I like to get a bit of a fix snapping the bikes now. http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l257/speedjunkie_2006/Mondello%20288...

Re: watching music videos on screen?

Sounds like you made a data disc as opposed to a DVD. You need to use something like Roxio, Nero or windows Movie maker even. I don't know if the RNS system will play dvd-/+r or rw though, someone more informed will let you know this.

Re: Why does my Scirocco shifts faster with LC?

There's no button specifically, you have to turn off ESP, gearbox into sport, hold down brake and accelerator at same time. Revs hold at a point, take your foot off brake. Pretty sure it's in my manual :) Edit: see here http://youtu.be/hgEK17Ffslk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return f...

Re: Post a pic of your car

Lovely colour. Not a fan of anything other than the interlagos' on the scirocco's but they are very nice wheels and suit the car well.

Re: Help Please! Matte or Gloss black?

The Matte was definitely a better choice anyway, it doesn't cause the black blur effect nearly half as badly as gloss would and you can see some definition to them

Re: Help Please! Matte or Gloss black?

Am I the only one who absolutely hates Black wheels on any vehicles regardless of colour? It just turns even the nicest of wheels into a round Black blur with no definition or detail left? Maybe it's just me

I hate the Bentley wheels, but you pulled them off. Put them back on because the chrome doesn't suit the car even half as much

Any chance you've got a sticky rear piston? Would give a similar smell to clutch plate....

Re: Diesels and dsg

I think the conclusion you have drawn from the responses is a good one. Manuals cheaper too (and more examples to choos from)! yeah i think thats the way to go. lots of them on auto trader but for sale by absolute dreamers from the price of them, almost 14,000 sterling for a 2009 is just ridiculous...
