Scirocco Central

I just want to say sorry dude. My car was smashed while parked a few months ago, I was devestated, lucky me they could fix it (not many 2.0 TSI on the market here). I can just imagine what it would feel to get it stolen.
Hope you get it back or at least get a new on the ensurance.

Ah that explains it. We had that discussion but he didnt think they were used for that. Thanks!

I just had my car at the yearly inspection and the mechanic was kind of pussled that my car had xenon level sensors mounted but no xenon lights. Is this common on GTs?

RisingBlue: Haha, I almost did the same 4 days ago far away from home, but for some reason I realized what was about to happen just as I was about to close the hatch, phewh.

My first mod. Chrome license plate frames.
And gave it a nice wash.

I tried to listen for it on mine but I couldnt hear anything like that, maybe very very soft but.

Incredibly good looking car!

So I tried to adjust this myself, I adjusted the wings a few millimeter out and the left side of the bonnet 1mm down, its as low as it gets now. Right side is good, left side where it got hit is only ok I guess. https://goo.gl/photos/vUXJhCm5uvsjfF9B6 https://goo.gl/photos/AjFTGjdMnoFm1HWM7 https://...

Welcome and congrats to a fantastic car!
Regarding the noise, thats nothing Im familiar with.

Ok cool. I live in Solna, Stockholm.

Does it really have a bigger gap looking from the side?

So I got it back and there has been some adjustments but the driver side looks the same, its sitting too high so the gap is bigger than on the passanger side. Either they didnt get what I was talking about or they just cant adjust it better. Im hesitant to take it back again, I have been without my ...

Yes I have it at the garage now and they are going to adjust it but they said the same thing, it will hang over a bit on the sides thats just how it is. I guess we that didnt have any overhang bafore was just lucky. On a candywhite the overhang creates a shadow on the side bumper, you can see it on ...

OK, what a shame since I had a perfect fit on mine, hopefully they can correct it a bit. On the positive side I had like 100 small chips in the finish from stones on the old bonnet so its nice to get a new one.

Holy shit what a nice roc.
Do you have any more pics with the rails on the roof and maybe the box?

Yeah the bonnet came straight from factory, but you know I have a 2009 model and maybe the new ones are done in new machines etc, maybe they arent made exactly like they were back then? Hopefully im just paranoid and they can fix it.

Ok, that good to hear. My impression is that the hood is too big for the car, it sticks out on both sides, but maybe they can adjust these things? What do I know. Its an authorized Volkswagen dealer/repair shop here in Stockholm.

Hi. My precious Scirocco got smashed in the front while parked, I just got it back from repairs and there are a few things Im not happy about. It got brand new parts from factory which is good, new front, new left front side "bumper" (or whatever you call it in English) and a new hood/bonn...

Yep I was set on a manual but tested a 2.0tsi DSG and ended up buying it, and I dont want to go back! Just go and test one!
You still have full control with the paddles if you want to, but i never use them.

Not boring post at all! Nice to see that you appreciate the Scirocco so much compared to the other cars.
I fear the day I have to sell mine.

I don't know what to do... I would like to do what you did and change the bulb to a strong LED indicator. Then upgrade taillights. I'm planning Dectane's, I just don't know how reliable they are.
