Scirocco Central

wow - never heard of that before! sounds just like my problem - thank you!

Morning! I have a GT 170 TDI on a 61 plate. Its done a, so far, trouble free 96k however last month it started not getting up to temperature. I do c. 100miles a day so I know exactly when it gets to temp. It started not going high at all, with oil only hitting c. 76'. So I got the thermostat replace...

perfect thank you! suprised its that way round, Im sure my rear wheels are further out than the fronts!

Just what i was after anyway - top man

Hi! I've lowered my scirocco 35mm on HnR... and im weighing up whether to just space the stock wheels out or purchase some bbs type wheels... spacers are 80quid... wheels are £400! I love the stock wheels but wondered if anyone had spaced their stock wheels out on a lowered car? and if so - could i ...

Hi - well I made the decision to go for comprehensive with £0 excess. for the sake of a few extra quid, I don't want to have to pay a penny I anything goes wrong. I got the Service manager at my local vw to call back, he has always gone the extra for me and I find him a very decent chap. he recommen...

Not to mention checking tyre depths, I think in certain eu countries the legal limit is higher than ours. (ours being 1.6mm) Tbh, just a thorough common sense going over of the car is adpt... If you dig through your paper work you may find the check list that VW do (their 100 point check or whatever...

Help!!!

So, I asked for a call back ages ago for an extended warranty - They called back today... I have until 6pm tonight to choose what level of cover I want otherwise its going to be the lapsed price ( which is over £200p.a more!)

Which level should I choose? Comprehensive?

Thanks!

I like this pic of mine - shame I lost all the quality of it due to instaspam! http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f309/smithy1900/IMG_1379.jpg And although it's meant to be one piccie I guess - as this won't be eligible for next month, and really shows off the colour 'night blue' http://i50.photobuck...

Looks good mate good job. But... Only problem is it's not an r. Not a big fan of cars being done up to look like something it's not. Especially when it's a diesel. Not been funny mate got a 502 hp escort cosworth sat in the garage for speed if I wanted a r I would of brought one Love this response ...

Not sure if this is totally wrong, but don't forget, compared to the rear, the fronts are attached via a driveshaft to the diff, and then, in turn ( pun! ) to the other wheel - so you will be turning a lot more than just a single wheel - it could therefore feel heavier?

thanks. Without sounding like a dick, that wasn't what I asked. I have fitted the best bulbs I can buy ( in my opinion) which are Phillips ... did a lot of research into them and i'm confident they are the best all rounder. I have previously ran HID's in in the stock housing ( until they start givin...

Hi, I tried to fit an hid kit to my scirocco, it was meant to be canbus error free but I always had one light stop working. you would have to turn lights on and off again - So I sacked them off. I've tried two kits in all and both had the same issue, the NS light would go out. Had anyone got them in...

its all circumstantial.

Can you afford it - that's what it boils down to.... if you could, why not have a newer, faster car?

likewise = what a total ballache eh! I've cleaned them out once, what I did was; Got a hoover and a piece of vacuum pipe. found a spray can lid that vagely had the same diameter of the hoover inlet/nozzle, drilled a hole in said lid and put vacuum pipe through - silicone it in place Attached lid to ...

HERO'S IN A HALF SHELL

TURTLE POWER!!!

Lol - like it, not something I would do, but hey, it's a wrap--- and tbf, I tiger striped my XR2I in lime green and grey stripes!!!!

Looking forward to other bits lol

worst case, a replacement seat isn't too expensive

mines the opposite, takes the most convoluted arse about tit way imaginable. its a total pain in the arse. If youignore it, it gets the hump, then goes 'yeah ok, you're routes 10 mins faster'

urgh!

you can select route preferences in settings failing that, I think vw possibly do an update?

there s a thread on here somewhere - do a search mate, im sure its been covered.

Im pretty much 90% sure you have Bluetooth there mate. I forgot to check if mine had it when I bought it, lesser sterior to yours and it did

Re the price.

I got a decent specced GT DSG 2.0TDI with 37k on the clock for £16k... so that seems fair enough to me.

yikes. turbo ( from the pics) looks relatively undamaged save the oil and what looks like slight damage to the edge of the blades - I guess from all the oil, metal filings etc that smashed out the block. Its more down to play with a tubby though, and ensuring its still balanced. I would replace anyw...
