car value

Hi, Just posted this on general. I've got a 2013 white R Line which has done 22000 miles and it's in excellent condition and I love it but her in the kitchen hates it with a vengeance. So after a couple of years of ear burning and tutting every time I hit the smallest pothole, I've got to give in (r...

Car value

We've got a 2013 R Line, 3 years old this month it's white 22000 miles, DGS auto gearbox, excellent condition all round and thinking about a change. If I went into a VW garage tomorrow what sort of price should I expect to be looking for in part ex for another used VV.

Thanks for any advice.

Tyre advice needed (sorry)

Hi, I've got an R Line which, come next week, will be three years old and is going in for it's third year service and first MOT on Friday next. I don't know too much about tyres but I've noticed on the front nearside one a small bulge in the wall which I'm told will be a MOT failure. The tyres have ...

Gearbox Oil

My R Line is due for it's 3rd year service soon and I'm told it includes oil change to the auto box which I gather is quite expensive to carry out This service is free (my last one) but it doesn't include the gear box oil change, which is extra. Someone suggested, buy your own oil and tell them to u...

Fuses

Hi, I want to hardwire a dash cam into my 2013 Scirocco R but my handbook doesn't identify what each fuse is for or which are switched by the ignition, (or I couldn't see it there). I would like to use a piggyback fuse holder into, preferably, a 5 or 3amp fuse in the internal fuse box which becomes ...

Dash Cam

I've got a Transcend 220 dash cam and would like to hardwire in our 2013 R-Line using the spare cable I have which has the cigarette lighter plug on one end which I appreciate I may need to cut off. I wanted to do this because there are times when I want to use the socket for Sat Nav or to charge ph...

Tyres again.

Having bought a Scirocco R which I absolutely love I had to convince the duchess that really, this car was made just for her, (she hates two doors with a vengeance). She's not that agile and finds it difficult in tight spots to get in but with a bit of instruction she's now learning to slide in and ...

Tow bars

Hi, I'm fairly new to the forum and noticed that I haven't seen any Scirocco's with a tow bar. I've got a small camping type trailer I would like to use it and wondered if it's possible to fit a bar?
Thanks for any help.

Hi, I'm fairly new to the forum and would appreciate some advice, we've got a 2013 R Line and did a stupid thing today. I'm always moaning to her in the kitchen if she gets anywhere near the kerb in case she damages the wheels, so what did I do today, you guessed. I was distracted (well that's my ex...

Door quesion!

Hi,
I'm a relative newbie so this is probably a numpty question, regarding a 2013 R line. At the bottom of the drivers door on the inside is a metal bar with a hole in it which appears to go into a slot in the lower door sill, what is it????

To start with, a couple of weeks ago, I bought a Scirocco R Line from a main dealer which was their ex demonstrator, it has the DSG gearbox and just over 2000 miles on the clock. It's the ...

Sorry, need to ask another question. Out for the first time in the rain yesterday in our nearly new 140 TDI R Line and found the front wipers made an awful noise. On watching them working the nearside one seems to go over the bottom rubber seal and I think this is making the noise. Is this common or...
