It might be due to the oil itself,for example my prebvious car used about 1liter of oil in 5k when Triple QX was used compared to Castrol edge that halved the consumption.
In regards to grade i've used both and have not noticed any difference.

Re: Questions from an amateur.
I've no idea how to help with your first question but regarding the MFD nr one resets itself after you've swiched off the engine for a while and nr 2 shows you long term distance and mpg. Regarding the window that does not sound normal to me,my R has never done that from new. Hope that helps a bit R...

Tbh it's nothing special,with the bonnet up it sounds like any other 4 pot but I wouldn't say it sounds like a diesel.

Re: R engine failure - not wastegate. £9k bill.
This story scares the s...t out of me because after my first service I'm not even sure that they even changed my oil or they have just topped it up well over the max. What the hell is up with these dealers,can't even do an oil change and refit everything back together. Best of luck with getting your...

Re: Will changing radio void warranty ?
It will void the warranty of the new radio, as you said and any part that has been affected by the new head unit, for example a short circuit took place and damaged let's say the climate control unit and they pin pointed the cause as being the incorect instalation of the new unit then i believe that...

Re: Confusing Oil Check ?
I think you would have to overfill by a fair bit before causing any damage. The manual is just covering their @rse. A few mm either way won't have much impact. The indications are conservative as designers have to build in a level of "idiot proofing" Yeah, idiots like vw technicians that ...

Re: Looking to buy this.
I paid £29k for a brand new fully loaded(except recaros) so I think its a bit overpriced.
Maybe you should consider waiting for the facelift model that's basically the same car in a slightly different suit.

New headlights from the model facelift they suit in scirocco MY2013 (With xenon) ? As long as the shape of the headlight is the same then it should fit.

Re: Why do you need wide tires?
I bought brand new r and it's on 19" with bridgestone tyres and my god is it noisy, especially at motorway speeds. Grip in the dry is good but as soon as it gets a bit wet they have no grip at all, I am mister unimpressed and as soon they get worn I'm swapping them for goodyear f1 assymetric 2....

Re: Facelifted Scirocco Official Pictures And Details
I certainly hope so because that way the warranty would be unaffected. As of yet we don't know if they modified any hardware so when it goes on sale everything should be a bit clearer.
Maybe VW will introduce a performance pack for our engines, we shall have to wait and see

Re: Facelifted Scirocco Official Pictures And Details
That engine is clearly the ea113 not the ea888, probably just a remapped version.

Re: Facelifted Scirocco Official Pictures And Details
That video I think proves that the R has the same engine as before.They only mentioned the 280bhp,0-60 time, no lower emissions, no lower consumption, basically nothing new,engine wise.Probably a light remap.
