Window Issue

Hi all, The windows in my '10 Scirocco are giving me headaches again. :( It's now the passenger side's turn to cause problems.. whenever it needs to descend that 1cm out of the seal (unlocking car, opening door, etc.) it doesn't go down enough - not enough out of the sill at least. It also looks as ...

Re: Those pesky 160 issues

Re: Facelifted Scirocco Official Pictures And Details

Would Volkswagen cover the known fault if it goes wrong though? as I know the aftermarket warranty comapnies find any reason like this not to pay out! also do you think i could haggle with VW a bit as i am also...

Re: Second-hand '10 1.4 TSI

Thanks for the help guys. Hopefully I'll be a proud owner by the end of January. :)

Hi all, new guy here.. I've been looking into getting a Scirocco for quite a while now, specifically a '10 1.4 TSI (160HP) manual. I've been reading what I could find here regarding the engine, or its potential problems to be exact. Now I need someone to calm my mind. :( Where is exactly the 'safe z...
