Re: Strange rear tyre wear?..

I think it was out quite a bit - difficult to tell though as I am no expert. The dealer identified it and said they would fix it for me for about £60. If I wanted the noise to go away then I needed two new tyres as well but they have a lot of tread left on them so they said I could leave it for a wh...

Re: Strange rear tyre wear?..

I've got the same problem on mine. Have had to have the rear alignment adjusted but I didn't realise until the tyres started rumbling and now the car is noiser than it should be.

Re: selling a scirocco

Is it damaged? Also, how old was the Scirocco? The light console looks to have different buttons in it to mine.

Thanks

Re: selling a scirocco

Does it have the dark or the light roof lining? I'd buy the roof lining, front light console and grab handles if it is dark.

Re: A Step Closer to a Roc

I ordered at the end of June and collected it in the middle of October - not too bad at all. It went through a dealer same as any other order.

Re: A Step Closer to a Roc

I bought through Drivethedeal and the experience was very positive - cost £19400. I picked the car up three weeks ago.

2010 Tdi 140 GT with cloth and dark roof lining?

I heard a rumour that all the 2010 GT cars now come with a dark roof lining, whether they have leather or not? Does anyone have one of these or know if it is true?

Re: Advice and Help!

I've just sold my Punto Sporting 1.9 and I am about to pick up my 140Tdi GT too! I sold my Punto back to the Fiat dealer, they gave me easily the best price for it.

Re: Used Roc - yours for £30K!

If the car is a demonstrator it might not be available for a few months, in which case they might anticipate it covering 3500 miles.

Re: Build date to delivery

So you reckon that it might be just a precaution? When I have spoken to them on the phone they have quoted about 3-4 weeks from delivery, and the build week hasn't varied from week 39 for a long time.

Build date to delivery

I've had a letter through today, saying that I have a confirmed build week of 39, but that VW quote 10 weeks from point of build to arrival at the dealership. This doesn't seem to tally with other people's experiences on here - any thoughts?

Re: Newbie Questions......(Sorry)

It used to be that only 2.0 Tsi models and all models with leather had the black headlining. However, there was a report a few days ago that there is a cloth 2.0 tdi gt around with black headlining so it may have changed for the 2010 spec.

Mine is scheduled for build week 39 (my birthday!) - anyone know how long it usually takes to arrive at the dealer in the UK following this?

Selling current car

Anyone got any ideas of the best way to sell my current car? It's a 57 Grande Punto Sporting. I don't want to advertise in autotrader because you get hassled by people trying to get you to give them money to match you up with a buyer, ebay seems very expensive too. The websites like webuyanycar.com ...
