All depends on your age etc mate for example im 18 and it would put mine up a few hundred but my dad it only put up £28..
So would vary on factors of your insurance no claims and age i'd have thought

Thanks everyone and thanks moulin12 for that link!

Although its confusing when i have read that scirocco's 2011 and later have the full red TSI badge instead of the black T and the red SI, i have seen some 2011/12 scirocco's with a black T and red SI?? Any idea's on this?:/

MY - Model Year With VW the model year changeover in production is around week 22 therefore a MY2011 is from around July 2010 to June 2011 Oh right! Such an obvious thing! Thanks, for that :) Thats handy because the scirocco's ive seen are after or in that class bracket so hopefully i'd be ok!..

Thanks for the reply :) I have the TSI 160 and a 2.0 GTI golf. There is very little difference in fuel consumption. The 160 returns about 38/39mpg while the Golf returns about 36mpg on the same run with same driving style. The 160 is a bit better around town though. As to reliability of the 160, I ...

Cheers moulin12 I'll have a look

Ok thanks To be fair mpg isn't too much of a worry, the main worry is all these stories i have read on here about big faults in the 1.4 160 engines.. I just wondered it there is certain engines or car manufacturer year to stay away from..

My advice is get neither of them.
Buy the 2.0 tsi or 2.0tdi

Thanks for the reply
The 2.0 TSI would be abit too much on fuel wouldn't it??

Thats why i was considering the 160 1.4 as its ok on fuel and decent power:/

Almost creepy how similar our thought path was on this... Haha Anyway, pleased you have decided what you want. Makes it much easier to find what you are after. Means you can just go on autotrader or motors.co.uk or whatever and put your exact specs in and see what it throws at you. Be careful thoug...

Hi, I am new to this site and looking into getting a Scirocco soon! As i work close to home there is no point me getting the diesel, therefore i'd like the petrol however i have read a few things about the 160 not been a very reliable engine?? Yes it has more power than the 122bhp which would make i...
