You could be right about it suiting my username.

Thanks all, happy driving :nod:

Time for Roc to go

Hi all. As the title says its time to draw a line under my Scirocco ownership. This is my second one a 184 R-line in Indium grey, I bought it brand new 4 months ago and I really just don't like it. I had my doubts during the 3 month wait from order to build to delivery but I proceeded anyway. Don't ...

Re: help about my new scirocco

Hi jazz123, I'm sorry but you don't get a first aid kit or warning triangle as standard, you have nice places for them but you don't get them. Obviously you should have a rear parcel shelf. I know my new R-line came with mats so you would hope a six month old car should, unless who ever had it first...

Re: Seat comfort ?

Old seat was a bit saggy where your leg pressed on it? New one's all firm and new? Give it some months and it might give a bit and mould to your seating position. Or might not..... You might be right I'd wondered that myself, perhaps a few thousand more miles with my arse sat on it might sort it, o...

Re: Seat comfort ?

Have you adjusted the lumbar to your liking? Use your cruise control more? When I first got mine I probably spent 30-60 mins sitting in the seat and moving myself and the seat/steering wheel around until i felt at home, I must say that the driving position that i have settled on is a lot further fo...

Seat comfort ?

Hi all, Does anybody else suffer from leg pain/ ache in their Scirocco ? My old 2010 GT was very comfortable, but my new 2015 R-line is a different story. After a few minutes of driving my right thigh is aching. I've adjusted the seat up down backwards and forwards but nothing makes any difference. ...

Re: Ceramique interior

Each to their own, but I much prefer the menacing black on black interior :) Bet that white leather would be a pain to keep clean.. Exactly that's my point, I don't like the two tone dash some will love it. I don't mind the seats ( but I wouldn't personally wouldn't choose them) you don't. The prob...

HI, each to their own, but the two tone dash looks a little nasty :shake: especially around the gear stick area, seats look good :nod: like I said each to their own!

The online update is so off, my car is now at the dealers so I'm signing papers tomorrow at pick her up on Monday. Tracking still States at UK port.

Re: Car still awaiting port of exit release!

Hi, I picked up my new car in July, and I had signed up for the text alerts but I never got any texts about 5A/5B or port of exit release. I would guess it means your cars sat at the port waiting for a ship. I would also think you will have a few more weeks to wait mine was 4 weeks to the day from b...

The R-Line and R get them as standard. Heck even with the R-Line you don't get chrome trimmed exhaust tips!! Who makes these decisions at VW must be a bit confused.

Re: Car change

To finish the story, I Have ordered a new TT for delivery next month. With some hard negotiation, new was not much more expensive than near new. I shall be sorry to say goodbye to my Scirocco which has served me well and given me a good p/e price. At least I know the car I am buying will not have a...

Car net

Hi, does any body have any knowledge on the VW car net system. My new roc's discover nav system can have it enabled by signing up on the VW site and entering a pin number to unlock it, its then free for three years on new cars. My concern is how much of my phones data allowance will car net use in d...

Re: Security

Before disabling it's functionality, consider what you would do if the keyfob fails.[/quote] My thoughts exactly. Its one thing preventing theft, but not at the expense of your ability to get into your own car! Twice on my old roc the key-fob didn't work, I think due to some sort of local interferen...

Hi , I changed my roc I have had for two years with a brand new R-line 3 weeks ago and to be honest I'm not 100% sure I've done the right thing. Don't get me wrong its a lovely car but I don't feel like I'm driving a brand new car , I thought it would be something special and its just not! I think I...

Re: What's with the new 2.0?

Yep that's all you get in the 2.0l, 180 petrol and 150 or 184 diesel, I think they dropped the more powerful petrol in May this year when they brought in a few cosmetic changes(discover sat nav stereo & colour display between the dials)

Re: Paranoid

At the end of the day its just a car, its meant to be used, you can look after it but the more you worry about it the worse it will be. I picked my new 15 reg R line less than 3 weeks ago I've already done over a 1000 miles and took a chunk out of one of my 19 inch alloys due to a pot hole, what can...

This is an absolute revelation. I will have a look at my paper work and check this later. Thank you so much.
