If you were still looking for a 1.4 TSI (160) I'm selling mine. I had issues with the misfire - long story short I ended up putting in a new engine in from an automatic with only 22k miles on it. Run's beautifully now. If interested PM me and I'll can send you the autotrader link.

Felt exactly the same after reading some stories on here. Was thinking about getting rid however the problems started soon after those thoughts. Has an engine from an auto with only 30,000 on now but looking to get a 2.0 TDi (same white, black leather!)

My May 2011 1.4 160 misfired (long story short) and needed a new engine at 60,000 miles. Will dissuade everyone from this engine!

Hi rhcp, just interested in what part you had replaced as my 1.4 160 has just developed 'the squeak' and it's pretty annoying, especially as I'm looking to sell soon.

Hi Joel. I imagine you might have come across my post about my 2011 plate 160. After 50k miles, the engine had to be replaced due to significant bore/valve/piston/injector damage. Looking at earlier replies on here I would stick with 2012 onwards as I'd hate any scirocco lover to be without their ro...

Hi all, just to update. So I withdrew the car from the garage that wanted to charge me £6k for a new engine. My mechanic friend and I spend a couple of days hunting for a new engine. The company we went with (http://www.nirro.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) were reall...

Hi guys. Thanks for your advice. I have taken the car off the garage's hands and had my mechanic friend have a look at the engine (to keep costs down!). He sent the following pics of the piston/head I thought I would upload. I'll be contacting my VW garage in Ashford, Kent to see what they say (I th...

Dear Gents and Ladies, I hope you could provide me with some advice as I'm at a lost cause. I appreciate there are other feeds that cover misfires, but they haven't provided much specific advice. Long story short; - In June I bought a 1.4 (160) Scirocco from a respectable garage, was very happy it a...

This may be really simple fix but during my frustration I have not been able to find it, so I'm hoping someone can advise. As I step into my candy 11 plate 1.4 scirocco, straight away I take advantage of my heated seats leather seats. As I am driving to work I constantly have to battle with the wind...

Took "Suzie" into a local garage as emissions light came on whilst being down on power. Cylinder 1 misfiring apparently, still not fixed.

Garage provided me with a Mitsubishi Colt, which I only drive around in the dark!

I have just bought my Rocco that only has RND, no bluetooth and no controls on the steering wheel. I am looking to change this as I would like a sat nav, bluetooth and a much neater looking head unit. I have been reading up about Alpine and Pioneer releasing Apple's CarPlay through their various hea...

Hi I have been browsing the site for the last couple of weeks in the run up to today when I finally got my Candy White, 11 Plate, 1.4 (160) beauty. I just have a few first day questions that I'm hoping the helpful community could answer: 1) The car has the RND (non sat nav version) and only came wit...
